Cluster Sampling

Cluster sampling is a form of sampling in which the population sample is chosen by classifying groups within the overall population, then taking a sample from some of those groups randomly. As a result, the potential margin of error is higher in cluster sampling, but the practicality of cluster sampling in terms of cost can outweigh the margin of error in large-scale surveys.
