Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quota sampling involves ensuring that the sample has certain characteristics that match those of the population. This is done by setting quotas for certain characteristics (such as age or gender) and then sampling individuals who meet those quotas. Availability sampling, on the other hand, involves sampling whoever or whatever is available, which may not be representative of the population. Therefore, quota sampling is intended to overcome availability sampling's biggest downfall.
