systematic- a member of the population is selected at random
convenience- the most-available members of the population are chosen
self-selected- members of the population volunteer to respond to a survey.
Note: Biased questions- Example what about a new subway 85%yes,15%no.
This question is biased because only people who ride the subway would say yes.

Sampling techniques
Zigzag
There are many such methods: cluster sampling, stratified random sampling, simple random sampling.Their usefulness depends on the circumstances.

random sampling ,systematic sampling , self-selected , and there is one more i don't know
There is no sampling method that will select the exact population.
Non probability sampling and probability sampling are different because probability sampling uses random samples. Non probability sampling aren't random, but can still be representative of the population as a whole if done correctly.
Save time Easyto use
Amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling.
basically it is cheaper than other methods so it is preferred over other methods.
The only way to get rid of sampling error is to use the entire population under study. This is usually impossible, so the next best thing is to use large samples and good sampling methods.
