Detailed explanation-1: -The prevalence of sampling errors can be reduced by increasing the sample size. As the sample size increases, the sample gets closer to the actual population, which decreases the potential for deviations from the actual population.
Detailed explanation-2: -If the population size is small or the size of the individual samples and their number are relatively small, random sampling provides the best results since all candidates have an equal chance of being chosen.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sampling error is typically reduced by either increasing sample size or by increasing the homogeneity of the elements being sampled. The general guideline for the cluster design is to minimize the number of clusters selected while increasing the number of elements within each cluster.
