Convenience Sampling (Non-Probability)

Samples are selected based on ease of access, not randomness.

Characteristics

  • No known selection probability
  • Fast and inexpensive
  • High risk of bias

Example: Surveying people in a nearby shopping mall.

Mathematical Note

No probability model → no valid inference to population.
