Haphazard selection involves selecting items for the sample in a random or arbitrary manner, without regard to any specific characteristics. This method reduces the risk of bias in the sample selection process. Block selection involves selecting items in groups or blocks, which may result in a biased sample if the blocks are not representative of the population. Systematic selection involves selecting items based on a predetermined pattern or interval, which may also lead to bias if the pattern is not representative of the population. Statistical selection involves using statistical methods to select items for the sample based on certain criteria, such as stratification or random sampling.
