Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Probability sampling involves selecting participants based on predetermined criteria or characteristics, such as age, sex, race, ethnicity, and educational attainment. This makes it the best choice for collecting data that considers these factors. Rotational sampling involves selecting participants in a predetermined sequence, scattered sampling involves selecting participants from different areas or locations, and random sampling involves selecting participants purely by chance, without consideration of any specific factors or characteristics.
