Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the two-stage sampling design the population is partitioned into groups, like cluster sampling, but in this design new samples are taken from each cluster sampled. The clusters are the first stage units to be sampled, called primary or first sampling units and denoted by SU1.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cluster sampling is a two-step procedure. First, the entire population is selected and separated into different clusters. Random samples are then chosen from these subgroups.
