Question

In 3-5 sentence discuss ONE non-probability sampling technique, and include a comment on at least one situation in which your selected technique could be applicable.

Answer 1

Non-probability sampling is defined as a sampling technique in which the researcher selects samples based on the subjective judgment of the researcher rather than random selection. It is a less stringent method. This sampling method depends heavily on the expertise of the researchers. It is carried out by observation, and researchers use it widely qualitative research.

An example of convenience sampling would be using student volunteers known to the researcher. Researchers can send the survey to students belonging to a particular school, college, or university, and they would act as a sample in this situation.
