Compared to probability samples, nonprobability samples________.
A) are usually cheaper to assemble.
B) are always much larger.
C) are usually more expensive to assemble.
D) allow for generalizations to populations.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonprobability samples are usually cheaper to assemble because they do not require the same level of randomness and representativeness as probability samples. However, nonprobability samples do not allow for generalizations to populations, making choice D incorrect. Choice B is also incorrect as the size of a sample is not necessarily determined by its sampling method. Finally, choice C is not always true, as the cost of assembling a sample depends on various factors beyond the sampling method used.
