Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Convenience sampling is a type of nonprobability sampling technique where participants are selected based on their convenient availability or accessibility to the researcher. It is not a probabilistic sampling method that provides equal chances of selection to each member of the population. It is also not a stratified sampling method that divides the population into subgroups and samples proportionately from each subgroup. It is different from cluster sampling where clusters or groups of individuals are sampled randomly from the population.
