Reasons for Sampling
Budget and time Constraints (in case of large populations)
High degree of accuracy and reliability (if sample isrepresentative of population)
Sampling may sometimes produce more accurate resultsthan taking a census as in the latter, there are more risksfor making interviewer and other errors due to the highvolume of persons contacted and the number of censustakers, some of whom may not be well-trained
