Detailed explanation-1: -The first step in selecting a sample is to define the population to which one wishes to generalize the results of a study. Unfortunately, one may not be able to collect data from his or her TARGET POPULATION. In this case, an ACCESSIBLE POPULATION is used.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first step of selecting a sample is the selection of the correct population for the study. The correct research can be conducted by a selected population. But it is difficult to collect information from the target population. For that accessible population was used as the sample.
Detailed explanation-3: -To create a sampling distribution a research must (1) select a random sample of a specific size (N) from a population, (2) calculate the chosen statistic for this sample (e.g. mean), (3) plot this statistic on a frequency distribution, and (4) repeat these steps an infinite number of times.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sampling can be done through probability (random selection) or non-probability (non-random) technique. Now, if the sampling frame is approximately the same as the target population, random selection may be used to select sample.
