Quota sampling is a non-probability sampling method where researchers select a sample that reflects the characteristics of the population being studied. In this method, researchers set a quota for each category or subgroup of the population and then select participants that match those characteristics until the quota is met. This technique ensures that a diverse range of participants are included in the study.
