Detailed explanation-1: -Non-probability sampling techniques are often used in exploratory and qualitative research. In these types of research, the aim is not to test a hypothesis about a broad population, but to develop an initial understanding of a small or under-researched population.
Detailed explanation-2: -Non-probability sampling designs are used when the sample needs to be collected based on a specific characteristic of the population (e.g., people with diabetes). Unlike probability sampling, the goal is not to achieve objectivity in the selection of samples, or to make statistical inferences.
Detailed explanation-3: -Probability sampling is widely used in research. It ensures that the sample is representative of the population, allows researchers to estimate the level of uncertainty in the results, and makes it possible to generalize the findings to the population.
