Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A group of researchers, decided to select their respondents because they are the most accessible. What type of non-probability sampling did they exercise?
A
Judgemental Sampling
B
Convenience Sampling
C
Quota Sampling
D
Snowball Sampling
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Accidental Sampling: It is also based upon convenience in accessing the sampling population.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sampling means selecting the group that you will actually collect data from in your research. For example, if you are researching the opinions of students in your university, you could survey a sample of 100 students. In statistics, sampling allows you to test a hypothesis about the characteristics of a population.

Detailed explanation-3: -Convenience sampling is a non-probability sampling technique where samples are selected from the population only because they are conveniently available to the researcher.

Detailed explanation-4: -Non-probability sampling is a method of selecting units from a population using a subjective (i.e. non-random) method. Since non-probability sampling does not require a complete survey frame, it is a fast, easy and inexpensive way of obtaining data.

Detailed explanation-5: -Convenience sampling is a non-probability sampling method where units are selected for inclusion in the sample because they are the easiest for the researcher to access. This can be due to geographical proximity, availability at a given time, or willingness to participate in the research.
