Which of the following terms best describes non-probability sampling ?
Answer: A
Non-probability sampling is best described as Subjective.
In non-probability sampling, such as convenience, purposive, quota and snowball sampling, the researcher chooses the sample by judgement or convenience, so not every member of the population has a known chance of being selected. The selection depends on the researcher's subjective choice.
Random and systematic sampling are probability methods, in which selection follows a chance-based rule; their objectivity is exactly what non-probability sampling lacks.
