Quota sampling also involves dividing the population into subgroups, but unlike stratified random sampling, the proportions of subgroups in the sample are not necessarily representative of the population. Instead, researchers use quotas to ensure that they include a certain number of participants from each subgroup, regardless of whether that subgroup is proportionally represented in the population. This can lead to bias in the sample selection process.
