Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Random purposeful sampling is the best choice in this scenario since it ensures that every school has an equal chance of being selected while still meeting a specific purpose for the study (selecting private schools in a city).

Answer: J
 A snowball/chain/network sampling strategy may be useful if the researcher is interested in specific private schools that have connections with each other or if they want to sample schools that are difficult to access using other sampling strategies.

Answer: L
 If the researcher wants to ensure representation from different types of private schools (e.g., based on size, religious affiliation, etc.), then stratified purposeful sampling may be the best choice.

Answer: H
 Convenience sampling may be the easiest and most practical option if the researcher simply wants to select private schools that are easily accessible or known to them. However, this strategy may introduce biases and limit the generalizability of the findings.
