systematic
stratified
convenience
cluster

RE Thank You.
Yes, her classmates are a little too convenient..regardless of the population
(which is not clear)
* Convenience sample - is characterized by the selection of easy to obtain members from the population. (typically not a worthwhile style for a sampling technique)
- A systematic sample is chosen on the basis of an ordered system.
� A cluster sample involves using a simple random sample of evident groups that the population contains.
- A stratified sample results when a population is split into at least two non-overlapping sub-populations.
