Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Probability sampling techniques involve randomly selecting individuals from the population, which increases the likelihood of obtaining a representative sample. Nonprobability sampling techniques, such as accessible or convenience sampling, do not provide equal opportunities for all members of the population to be included in the sample, thus leading to potential biases and less accurate representation. Therefore, probability sampling is the best choice for ensuring accurate representation in survey research.
