Detailed explanation-1: -In cluster sampling, researchers divide a population into smaller groups known as clusters. They then randomly select among these clusters to form a sample. Cluster sampling is a method of probability sampling that is often used to study large populations, particularly those that are widely geographically dispersed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cluster sampling is a method of probability sampling where researchers divide a large population up into smaller groups known as clusters, and then select randomly among the clusters to form a sample.
