    Study Notes

    Non-Probability Sampling

    • Non-probability sampling is a sampling technique where the selection of units is based on non-random criteria, such as convenience, judgment, or expertise.
    • One of the challenges of non-probability sampling is that the results may not be representative of the population being studied.

    Risks and Limitations

    • A risk associated with non-probability sampling is that the sample may not be representative of the population, leading to biased results.
    • Data collected using non-probability sampling should be used with extra caution because the sample is not randomly selected, which may affect the generalizability of the results.
    • Non-probability sampling assumes that the sample is representative of the population, but this assumption may not always hold true.
