sentences are still similar

PROPORTIONAL STRATIFIED RANDOM- a proportion of each subgroup is the

same as their proportion in the population

PURPOSEFUL RANDOM- developing a systematic way of selecting cases that

is not based on advanced knowledge of how the outcomes would
appear

SNOWBALL SAMPLE- selecting participants by asking one person to

recommend someone suitable

SYSTEMATIC- individuals are selected from a list every nth time
