    Random, systematic, stratified, quota, snowball, and volunteer sampling are types of sampling techniques. Each has strengths, such as reducing bias, but also weaknesses, like not representing the entire population. Random sampling gives each member of the population an equal chance of being selected, while systematic sampling chooses individuals at fixed intervals from a larger group. Stratified sampling divides a population into subgroups to create a representative sample.
