A probability sampling method ensures that each member of the population has a known probability of being selected, which helps in creating a representative sample. The other methods, such as non-probability, convenience, judgment, and quota sampling, do not guarantee a representative sample. A census would involve collecting data from the entire population, which may not always be necessary or feasible.
