Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Periodic sampling involves taking measurements at fixed time intervals, which is the most appropriate method for observing the output of a process at regular intervals. Consecutive sampling involves taking measurements after every instance of the event, whereas random sampling involves taking measurements at random times, which may not be suitable for observing a process. Fixed sampling is a vague term and not commonly used.
