Simple random sampling v/s Convience sampling

Differences between simple random sampling and convenience sampling

Simple random sampling

1. In simple random sampling the final results can be generalized to the population.

2. In this every individual has an equal chance of getting selected from sampling frame

3. Selection of sample is without bias

Convenience sampling

1. In convenience sampling results cannot be generalized to the population.

2. In this type of sampling only those individuals are chosen who are easily accessible and does not have an equal chance of getting selected

3. Selection of sample may have biasness
