The main section of the paper deals with various forms of probability sampling techniques, which are categorized as random sampling method, stratified sampling, systematic sampling method, cluster sampling, and replicated sampling. Various subdivisions of each of these sampling methods have also been discussed. Moreover, the suitability of each of these methods is discussed. The paper concludes with the comparison of probability sampling methods concerning other available sampling procedures.
