There are situations where collecting information from every member of a population is difficult, impossible or pointless. In such cases sampling is used. The rationale behind this is that, if the sample is selected properly, then statistics based on the sample will be good approximations for the corresponding measures of the population as a whole.
Incidentally, a census is pointless when testing is destructive. If a baker tested/tasted every cake that was made, there would be none left to sell!
No, sampling techniques differ for solid, liquid, and gas samples. For solids, techniques like grab sampling or core sampling are commonly used. Liquids can be sampled using methods like grab sampling, pump sampling, or composite sampling. Gases are typically sampled using techniques like grab sampling, passive sampling, or active sampling using pumps or sorbent tubes.
Convenience sampling or quota sampling.
Sampling techniques in researching involves to types of sampling. The probability sampling and the non-probability sampling. Simple random is an example of probability sampling.
The techniques for reconstructions in DSP include signal processing, sampling and quantization, and eventually replacing hardware with software. Techniques generally begin with sampling in all modes.
Random sampling techniques.
Purposive sampling can allow the researcher to make generalizations about results. Purposive sampling also provides the researcher with many different sampling techniques.

Sampling techniques can provide statistically reliable and valid survey results except haphazard sampling.
Sampling techniques in research allow researchers to gather data efficiently and cost-effectively, providing a snapshot of a larger population. This can save time and resources compared to collecting data from an entire population. However, sampling techniques may introduce sampling bias, where certain groups are overrepresented or underrepresented in the sample, leading to results that may not accurately reflect the entire population. It is crucial for researchers to carefully select and implement sampling techniques to minimize bias and ensure the validity and generalizability of their findings.
