Which type of sampling is Quota Sampling classified under?

Which one of these is NOT a type of Non-Probability Sampling?

What type of sampling involves dividing the population into subgroups and taking a random sample from each?

Which sampling method selects every nth individual from the population?

In which sampling method do you start with a few participants and ask them to refer others?

Types of Sampling

There are two main types of sampling: non-probability sampling and probability sampling.

Non-Probability Sampling

Snowball Sampling: a sampling method that involves recruiting participants through referrals.
Convenience Sampling: a sampling method that involves selecting participants based on their availability and ease of access.
Quota Sampling: a sampling method that involves selecting participants based on pre-determined criteria to ensure a representative sample.

Probability Sampling

Simple Random Sampling: a sampling method that involves randomly selecting participants from a population using a randomized process.
Systematic Sampling: a sampling method that involves selecting every nth individual from a population list.
Stratified Sampling: a sampling method that involves dividing a population into subgroups and randomly selecting participants from each subgroup.
Cluster Sampling: a sampling method that involves dividing a population into smaller groups (clusters) and randomly selecting a few clusters for the sample.
