Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All four sampling methods listed are non-probability sampling methods, which means they do not provide equal chance for all members of the population to be selected for the sample. Quota sampling involves selecting individuals based on pre-set quotas, judgemental sampling involves relying on the judgement of the researcher to select participants, snowball sampling involves using referrals from initial participants to recruit additional participants, and convenience sampling involves selecting individuals who are readily available and easy to reach. While these methods can be useful in certain situations, they are generally not considered as statistically rigorous as probability sampling methods.
