Study Notes
Non-Probabilistic Sampling Techniques
- These techniques use criteria to select a sample, not all members have equal chance of selection
- These methods are less reliable than probabilistic methods as representativeness of the population is lower
- Useful when strict conditions in a population are required, or when complete exploration is not feasible, and there is no way to obtain a general representation of the population being studied
- Examples include quota sampling
Quota Sampling
- Defining characteristics to establish a sample
- Sample members are chosen based on certain characteristics that match the population
- Goal to create a sample that reflects the population
- Example: A researcher studying product opinions asks 60 young adults and 60 older adults.
