scholars in the field assert that sampling is the process of selecting a sub set of randomized number of members of the population of a study and collecting data about their attributes. Population attributes can be best inferred with minimum cost and time frame through sampling. The adivantages of sampling over cencus are that it takes less time to collect,manage and organize data and it poses less cost for researcher to collect,manage and organize data, and more accuracy of data collected due to its limited size.Hence, the understanding of sampling methods is crucial for the right research in order to save resource ,time and effort.This paper gives highlight about different types of Sampling Methods,their adivantages and disadivantages.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
The paper begins by differentiating between census and sampling methods, highlighting the advantages of sampling over census in terms of time, cost, and accuracy. It then introduces the various types of probability sampling, including simple random sampling, stratified sampling, systematic sampling, cluster sampling, and multi-stage sampling. Each method is explained in detail with illustrative examples.
The paper further discusses non-probability sampling methods such as convenience sampling, quota sampling, and purposive sampling. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are outlined, and the factors that influence the choice of non-probability sampling are examined.
