Day 4 - Let's get sampling

Hie,
Sorry for the delay, my net was down and was extremely busy for Easter.
Anways the two differences between Simple Random Sampling and Convenience Sampling are:

Simple Random Sampling:

1. The fact that it is random allows for anybody to have equal chance of being selected.

2. Hence can be generalized to the whole population





Where as Convenience Sampling:

1. It is based on the easy accessibilty of people that can partake in the study which could result in biasness.

2. It cannot be generalised to the whole population but can be generalised to that research study of that particular group.
