A Simple random sampling is the most common method of sampling. In the simple random sampling of size n (the size of each sample would be n), each sample of equal size has an equal chance to be chosen from the population (Christian Albright, 2017). In the method of cluster sampling, the random samples are being drawn from the clustered population (Christian Albright, 2017). In general cluster sampling is being followed by the simple random sampling or the systematic random sampling.
