Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Random sampling is not a characteristic field technique of the ethnographer because it is a quantitative research method used in survey research and experimental designs rather than in-depth qualitative research methods used in ethnography. Ethnographers commonly use structured interviewing, life histories, working with informants, and the genealogical method to understand the culture and everyday life of the people they study.
