• Convenience Sampling: elements for the sample are selected for the convenience of the
researcher.
• Judgment Sampling: elements selected for the sample are chosen by the judgment of the
researcher.
• Quota Sampling: population is divided into nonoverlapping subpopulations. However, instead
of randomly sampling from each stratum, the researcher uses a nonrandom sampling method to
gather data from one stratum until the desired quota of samples is filled.
• Snowball Sampling: survey subjects are selected based on referral from other survey
respondents.
• Sampling Error: occurs when the sample is not representative of the population.
• Nonsampling Error: All errors other than sampling errors.
