Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Convenience sampling involves using respondents who are “convenient” to the researcher. There is no pattern whatsoever in acquiring these respondents-they may be recruited merely asking people who are present in the street, in a public building, or in a workplace, for example.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the absence of a sampling frame, convenience sampling allows researchers to gather data that would not have been possible otherwise. If you’re conducting exploratory research, convenience sampling can help you gather data that can be used to generate a strong hypothesis or research question.
