Nonprobability sampling is the best choice for situations where there is no list of all individuals in the population. Nonprobability sampling methods select participants based on subjective factors such as availability, willingness to participate, or the researcher's judgment about who would be the most useful to study. These methods are not as reliable as probability sampling methods but are often used in exploratory or qualitative research where the aim is to generate new ideas or understand a particular phenomenon.
