Detailed explanation-1: -What is Purposive Sampling? Purposive sampling, also known as judgmental, selective, or subjective sampling, is a form of non-probability sampling in which researchers rely on their own judgment when choosing members of the population to participate in their surveys.

Detailed explanation-2: -Random sampling Finally, the best sampling method is always the one that could best answer our research question while also allowing for others to make use of our results (generalisability of results). When we cannot afford a random sampling method, we can always choose from the non-random sampling methods.

Detailed explanation-3: -In purposive sampling, you set out to identify members of the population who are likely to possess certain characteristics or experiences (and to be willing to share them with you). In this way, you can select the individuals or cases that fit your study, focusing on a relatively small sample.
