Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: If a student asks 16 friends to participate in a psychological experiment, then he is using a convenience sampling method. It is a non-probability sampling technique. It is an easy method to use because it is available at one’s convenience.
Detailed explanation-2: -Convenience sampling is a qualitative research sampling strategy that involves selecting participants based on their accessibility and availability to the researcher. Rather than being drawn at random from a bigger population, participants in this strategy are picked because they are easily available to the researcher.
