Quantitative Methods Questions
Cluster sampling is a sampling technique used in quantitative research where the population is divided into clusters or groups, and a random sample of these clusters is selected to be included in the study. Each selected cluster represents a mini-version of the population, and all individuals within the chosen clusters are included in the sample. This method is often used when it is impractical or costly to sample individuals directly, and it allows for more efficient data collection by reducing the time and resources required to reach a representative sample.
