What is the difference between quota sampling and cluster sampling
Sampling error leads to random error. Sampling bias leads to systematic error.

Sampling bias.
Random sampling is picking a subject at random. Systematic sampling is using a pattern to pick subjects, I.e. picking every third person.
Imagine a dartboard. An accurate measurement would be analogous to hitting the bulls-eye. While a precise measurement is just the tight clustering of shots.
An accurate answer to a question answers the question. The precision depends on the level of accuracy of the answer.
Accuracy is a measure of how close to an absolute standard a measurement is made, while precision is a measure of the resolution of the measurement. Accuracy is calibration, and inaccuracy is systematic error. Precision, again, is resolution, and is a source of random error.
The article at the link below should help you get a handle on the subtle differences between accuracy and precision.

Accuracy refers to how close a measured value is to the true value, while precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurements. In other words, accuracy is related to correctness, while precision is related to repeatability. A measurement can be precise but not accurate if the values are consistently off by a certain amount, and it can be accurate but not precise if the values vary widely with each measurement.
Accuracy refers to how close a measured value is to the true or accepted value, while precision refers to how close multiple measurements of the same quantity are to each other. In other words, accuracy indicates the correctness of a measurement, while precision indicates the consistency or reproducibility of measurements.
Accuracy refers to how close a measured value is to the true value, while precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurements. Both are important in scientific measurements, but accuracy is generally more crucial as it ensures that the data is reliable and close to the true value being measured. Precision is important for assessing the reliability and reproducibility of the measurements.
Sampling error leads to random error. Sampling bias leads to systematic error.
Accuracy is how close the value that is measured to a true or standard value. While precision is referred as the degree of nearness of the measured values to one another in a repeated same value.
The main difference between the quota and stratified sampling is that in the stratified sampling the researcher can not select the individuals to be included in the sample (he doesn't have control over who will be in the simple), but in the quota sampling the researcher has control over who will be in the sample (he can contact certain people and include them in the sample).
Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value, while precision refers to how close repeated measurements are to each other. A measurement can be precise but not accurate if it consistently misses the true value by the same amount. Conversely, a measurement can be accurate but not precise if the measurements are spread out but centered around the true value.
