INTRODUCTIONInternet usage is basically the measurement of total amount of data flowing through ourmobile or computer and the Internet network for given period. Measurement expressed in (bytes,kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes.).Present study will conduct survey on people of Nusa in orderto identify internet usage among these people. TASKa.) Selection of sample to represent the whole population.There are various sampling techniques through which Researcher will able to take out thesample from given population of Nusa so that they can take sample population as representativeof whole population of Nusa. The samples are basically taken to find out the average of wholepopulation instead of considering whole population. Sampling helps to save time and energy ofresearcher (Nardi, 2018). The sampling techniques are divided basically into two:-PROBABILITY SAMPLING METHOD-1.Simple random sampling-In this type of sampling method, the individuals are selected randomly from the givenpopulation. There is no base on which they select the people. Random selections are done in thistype of sampling.In this method, there is equal, chance of all persons of being it is basically morestraightforward and convenient method of probability sampling. These type of sampling can bewidely used where area of population is large and people selection os done on randomly basis sothat everyone get equal chance of selection (Bell, Bryman and Harley, 2018). 2.Systematic samplingIn this type of sampling the samples re taken systematically and the selection is done insystematic way except the first element (Veal, 2017).The initial step of these sampling is selecting any individual randomly than selection of anotherelement is done on some basis like every third element will be the part of sampling or everyalternate person will be part of sampling. This type of sampling is said to be systematicsampling.3.Multi-stage samplingIt is the combination of one or two methods of sampling.1

In this type of sampling ,the complete population is divided into different groups ( clusters) thanthese groups are further subdivided into dub groups(strata) which are based on some similarcharacteristics. Then one or more clusters are selected randomly from each stratum and theprocess continues till those Custer cannot be divided anymore (Thomas, Nelson and Silverman,2018).4. Cluster samplingIn this sampling the complete population is divided into clusters on the basis of age, sex,location, education, etc. and all the elements of the clusters are taken into consideration forsampling purpose.Cluster sampling can be done in two ways :- single stage cluster sampling and two stage clustersampling (Fang and et.al., 2015).Single stage cluster sampling Single stage clusters sampling ,the complete cluster is taken as sample which represent thecomplete population.Two stage cluster sampling-In this sampling, researcher randomly select the cluster from different clusters and from thoseclusters they also select the elements randomly for sampling. NON PROBABILITY SAMPLINGIt is the sampling which is ot based on randomisation. In this researcher selects sample accordingto its ability of selection. There are chances of biaseness (Patten, 2016). And the population doesnot get an equal chance of selection. The various types of non probability sampling are:-Convenience sampling-in this technique the samples are selected on basis of availability, that iswhen there is an availability of sampling is rare or costly than sampling will be done accordingto convenience samples.Purposive sampling-This technique I based on the purpose or intention of the study. researcher will select only thoseelements which are suitable for the purpose of study.Quota Sampling-this sampling technique I based on pre decided standard according to which the samples arebeing selected from the population (Gorst and et.al., 2016)Snowball sampling-2
