 QUOTA SAMPLING
• A non-probability sampling method in which researchers
can form a sample involving individuals that represent a
population and are chosen according to traits or
qualities.

• Researchers can decide the trait as per which the

sample subset selection will be conducted so that the
sample can be effective in collecting data that can be
generalized to the entire population.
• The final subset will be decided only
according to the interviewer or researcher’s
knowledge of the population.
 ADVANTAGES
• With the involvemnet of qouta sampling,
the process will be quick and simple
• Interpreting information once the
sample is created is a much convenient
process for a researcher.
• There is no room for over-representation
as this sampling technique helps
researchers in studying a population
using specific quotas.
 CHI-SQUARE TEST
The Chi Square is commonly used for testing
relationships between categorical variables. It is a
statistical procedure used by researchers to examine the
differences between categorical variables in the same
population.
 CATEGORICAL VARIABLES
• Categorical Variable in statistics is a variable
that can take be limited and usually with
fixed number of possible values assigning
each individual or other unit of observation to
a particular group or nominal category on the
basic of some qualitative property.

 Quota Sampling Using Facebook Advertisements Can
Generate Nationally Representative Opinion Estimates
Baobao Zhang, 2017

The researchers employed quota sampling to target a series of

specific demographic groups. When a person for instance
clicked an advertisement, then Facebook will continue sending
the advertisement to those people. And by that, they establish
demographic strata wherein they grouped the people
according to their gender, age, and other specific interest to
avoid “homogenization” of the sample. And then after making
the sub groups, they have randomly picked the participants
which is over 2,432 participants out from all those who have
engaged in the specific advertisement.
Gender Differences in Self-Reported Symptoms of Depression
among Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome
Lorraine Frazier, 2012

The sample consisted of 789 adult (248 females and 541

males) patients admitted with ACS (Table 1). Ages ranged
from 28 to 96 years. A total of 88 (35%) females and 120
(22%) males had BDI-II scores of 14 or higher. Sixty percent
of the patients were hospitalized for their first ACS event.
The majority of the patients were Caucasian males (64%),
with a mean age of 61.35 years (S.D. = 11.56). A
significantly higher percentage of females were not married
(51% for females and 27% for males, ), lived alone (25.5%
for females and 17.6% for males, ), and were less physically
active (35% for females and 24% for males, ) than males.
More than half of females in the study had less than high
school education (52%, ), while the majority of males had
at least some college or college degree (60%). Females
were more likely to currently be taking antidepressants
(21.3%) than males (10.57%) () and significantly more
females (31.7%) than males (16.3%) () reported a history
of depression diagnosis or treatment.
