A cluster sample involves dividing the population into clusters or groups based on a similarity, such as geographic area or occupation, and then randomly selecting clusters to sample from. This method is useful when obtaining a complete list of individuals in the population is difficult or when resources are limited. It also allows for a more efficient sampling process as only a portion of the clusters need to be selected and surveyed.
