Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A convenience sample is one that is composed of individuals who are easily accessible to the researcher, often because they are volunteers, or easily located in a specific location or group. This is in contrast to a randomized, representative sample, which would be selected randomly and would accurately represent the larger population. A double-blind sample is not a common term and does not accurately describe a type of sample.
