sampling is when you take a peice of somthing and test it.
Random sampling techniques.
The difference between convenience and incidental sampling is that convenience sampling chooses the easiest people to reach when a sampling is done, whereas incidental sampling is done at random.

Sampling rate is a defining characterstic of any digital signal. In other words, it refers to how frequently the analog signal is measured during the sampling process. Compact disks are recorded at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz.
I would like to sample the signal Xa(t) =1+cos(10 *pi*t) using sampling frequency fs=8 Hz. How can I calculate this? ANSWER: Your signal has a frequency component of 5hz (from the equation: 2*pi*f*t = 10*pi*t, therefore f=5). The Nyquist rate for this signal (the minimum sampling rate required to reconstruct the signal) is then 10Hz, and even at that rate the amplitude of the sampled signal will be reduced unless you can somehow synchronize the sampling with the peaks/troughs of the cosine signal. If you sample at 8Hz you will not be able to reconstruct the signal at all.
Scientific design is always better.

Core sampling is used by geologists and other scientists for scientific knowlege, geologic mapping, and mineral and resource discovery and management.

Random sampling techniques.
Straw Polls include getting a show of hands or other type of method while scientific sampling process deals with a small group of people representing a large population.

Modern scientific polling uses sampling to get accurate statistics on public opinion. The sample is of the public is taken to represent the opinion of the larger public. This has become a proven and accurate way of conducting polls from the public.
Random Sampling
George Gallup's system of accurate polling included correct sampling, clear questions, and scientific principles. George Gallup also did not take funding from groups who had an interest in the outcome of the polls.
They include: Simple random sampling, Systematic sampling, Stratified sampling, Quota sampling, and Cluster sampling.
Answer is Quota sampling. Its one of the method of non-probability sampling.
