Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Convenience sampling involves obtaining participants who are readily available and accessible to the experimenter, which is the method described in the question. However, simple random sampling would be a more preferred method as it ensures that every individual in the population has an equal chance of being selected for the experiment. Valid sampling refers to the sampling technique that accurately represents the population being studied, while experimental sampling is not a valid option as it is not a recognized sampling technique.
