Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cluster sampling involves dividing the population into clusters and selecting a random sample of the clusters. This can be less expensive than simple random sampling as it requires less time and resources to identify and select the clusters. However, since the clusters may not be representative of the population as a whole, there may be some loss of accuracy in the sample. Therefore, it is slightly less accurate than simple random sampling.
