Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Random online intercept sampling using systematic sampling involves selecting a random starting point and then selecting participants at a fixed interval (skip interval). This method is commonly used in online surveys and can provide a representative sample of the target population. Option A is incorrect because simple random sampling does not involve a skip interval. Option B is incorrect because online panel sampling involves recruiting participants in advance and maintaining a panel of respondents. Option C is not directly related to the sampling method described. Option E is incorrect because subjective sampling involves using the researcher's judgment to select participants.
