Answer to Question #252233 in Sociology for Kay

Question

Identify and discuss two sampling techniques / methods you will use to select the respondents who will participate in the study.

Answer 1

I will use probability and nonprobability sampling methods to select my research respondents. The probability sampling method is randomly selecting participants where every person has equal chances of participating in the study and enable the researcher to collect strong statistics inferences about the particular group while nonprobability will be used to collect information based on other criteria such as age, sex, economic status, region and level of education among others, nonprobability allow easy collection and analysis of data by using target group rather than the whole population.
