 Multistage sampling is the taking of samples in stages
using smaller and smaller sampling units at each
stage. Multistage sampling can be a complex form of
cluster sampling because it is a type of sampling which
involves dividing the population into groups (or clusters).

 Let’s say you wanted to find out which subjects Pakistan
school children preferred which cartoons. A population
list — a list of all Pakistan school children– would be
near-impossible to come by, so you cannot take a sample
of the population.
 Instead, you divide the population into states and take a
simple random sample of states. For the next stage, you
might take a simple random sample of schools from
within those states.
 Finally you could perform simple random sampling on
the students within the schools to get your sample.

 If you want to do interviews on telephone, do
demographic quotas to select your respondents.
 Which means that a certain percentage of all
respondents must be of a certain gender or age. In
this type of study, researchers determine which
person in the household should answer the
questionnaire by using a form of random-numbers
table.
