Identify Non-Probability Sampling Methods

Non-Probability sampling techniques are those where the selection of subjects is not based on random chance. Instead, researchers use their judgment or convenience.

Analyzing Sampling Methods

Let's examine each method listed:

  • A. Lottery Method: This is a method of Simple Random Sampling, where every member has an equal chance. It is a Probability sampling method.
  • B. Quota Sampling: Researchers choose participants based on certain characteristics to meet a predetermined quota. This is a Non-Probability sampling method.
  • C. Systematic or Listing Method: This involves selecting samples from a list at regular intervals (e.g., every 10th person). It is a Probability sampling method.
  • D. Purposive Sampling: The researcher selects participants based on their knowledge, experience, or specific traits relevant to the study. This is a Non-Probability sampling method.
  • E. Accidental Sampling: Also known as convenience sampling, this involves selecting participants who are readily available and easy to reach. This is a Non-Probability sampling method.

Identifying Non-Probability Techniques

The methods identified as Non-Probability sampling are:

  • B. Quota Sampling
  • D. Purposive Sampling
  • E. Accidental Sampling

The correct option must include only these methods.
