Cluster sampling is used when the population is so big or the geographical area of the research is so large.
Parameter is a summary description of a given variable in a population.
A sampling stratum is that group, section or category of elements from which selection is made in some stage of sampling.
Sampling makes possible the study of a large, homogeneous population
When the universe or population is more or less homogeneous and only the typical, normal, or average is desired to be known,
a larger sample is needed.

If sampling is biased, or not representative, or too small, the conclusion may not be valid and reliable
Accidental sampling is a process of picking out people in the most convenient and fastest way to immediately get their
reaction.
Appraisals that involve sampling are estimates and predictions only.
Systematic sampling is used when the subjects or respondents in the study are arrayed or arranged in some systematic
manner.
Accidental Sampling is also resorted to only when there is no other alternative
A test that is reliable if it gives the same measurement to the same individuals or groups.
Standard test can fully correspond to the expected outcomes of the instructional objectives of a particular school, course or
subject
Estimates based on sampling are accurate when the sample is a small proportion of the whole and when the sample is not
representative.
Adequacy means that the test is long enough to contain properly selected representative items of the behavior or knowledge
to be measured.
Good defined sampling as measuring a small portion of something and then making a general statement about the whole
thing.
