Probability Sampling
In probability sampling, a random sample is used, where each basic element has a known probability of being selected in the sample.
Characteristics:
- Each element is randomly selected and has the same probability of selection.
- Error and confidence can be calculated.
- Results can be generalized.
- It is the only method that can evaluate the representativeness of the sample.
