Double sampling involves using a preliminary sample to help in selecting the final sample, which can save time and resources. This method is effective when dealing with large and diverse populations. Cluster sampling involves dividing a population into groups or clusters and then randomly selecting some of those clusters to use as the sample. Systematic sampling involves selecting individuals from a population at uniform intervals. Stratified sampling involves dividing a population into subgroups based on certain characteristics and then randomly selecting individuals from each subgroup to create a sample. None of these options involve using a preliminary sample, which is a key aspect of double sampling.
