Systematic sampling
In probability sampling,every item in the population has a known chance of being selected as a member.In non-probability sampling, the probability that any item in the population will be selected for a sample cannot be determined.
Non probability sampling and probability sampling are different because probability sampling uses random samples. Non probability sampling aren't random, but can still be representative of the population as a whole if done correctly.
Consecutive sampling is very similar to convenience sampling except that it seeks to include ALL accessible subjects as part of the sample. This non-probability sampling technique can be considered as the best of all non-probability samples because it includes all subjects that are available that makes the sample a better representation of the entire population.
Simple random sampling gives you are fair representation of the population. Every member of the population has an equal chance of being chosen.
Probability sampling
In a probability sample, each unit has the same probability of being included in the sample. Equivalently, given a sample size, each sample of that size from the population has the same probability of being selected. This is not true for non-probability 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.
Simple random sampling.

advantage of probability sampling
the difference is just that non-probability sampling does not involve random selection, but probability sampling does.
A sampling distribution function is a probability distribution function. Wikipedia gives this definition: In statistics, a sampling distribution is the probability distribution, under repeated sampling of the population, of a given statistic (a numerical quantity calculated from the data values in a sample). I would add that the sampling distribution is the theoretical pdf that would ultimately result under infinite repeated sampling. A sample is a limited set of values drawn from a population. Suppose I take 5 numbers from a population whose values are described by a pdf, and calculate their average (mean value). Now if I did this many times (let's say a million times, close enough to infinity) , I would have a relative frequency plot of the mean value which will be very close to the theoretical sampling pdf.
