Accidental sampling is a type of nonprobability sampling which involves the sample being drawn from that part of the population which is close to hand. That is, a sample population selected because it is readily available and convenient. The researcher using such a sample cannot scientifically make generalizations about the total population from this sample because it would not be representative enough. For example, if the interviewer was to conduct such a survey at a shopping center early in the morning on a given day, the people that he/she could interview would be limited to those given there at that given time, which would not represent the views of other members of society in such an area, if the survey was to be conducted at different times of day and several times per week. This type of sampling is most useful for pilot testing.

What is a less accurate technique then random sampling?
So-called accidental sampling. Please see the link.
Types of sampling techniques?
It is a sampling method in which units are selected based on easy access/availability. The disadvantage of convenience sampling is that the units that are easiest to obtain may not be representative of the population. For example products on top of a box of parts may be a different quality from those at the bottom, people who are at home when the market researcher calls may not be representative of the entire population. It is also called as Accidental Sampling.
What are the various kind of sampling?
They include: Simple random sampling, Systematic sampling, Stratified sampling, Quota sampling, and Cluster sampling.
What are the sources of sampling errors?
Sampling and Non sampling errors
What sampling method?
Random Sampling

Which one is called non probability sampling a. cluster sampling b.quota sampling c. systematic sampling d. stratified sampling?
Answer is Quota sampling. Its one of the method of non-probability sampling.
What is sampling in research?
Sampling techniques in researching involves to types of sampling. The probability sampling and the non-probability sampling. Simple random is an example of probability sampling.
Is convenience sampling method not a random sampling?
You are correct; convenience sampling is not random sampling.
Define the four different sampling techniques?
1) Simple random sampling 2) Systematic sampling 3) Stratified sampling 4) Cluster sampling 5) Probability proportional to size sampling 6) Matched random sampling 7) Quota sampling 8) Convenience sampling 9) Line-intercept sampling 10) Panel sampling
What are the sources of sampling errors?
Sampling and Non sampling errors
What type of sampling (sample strategy) is it when I am sampling employees from different organizations?
Convenience sampling or quota sampling
What is the difference between quota sampling and cluster sampling?
What is the difference between quota sampling and cluster sampling

Simple Random Sample Stratified Random Sampling Cluster Sampling Systematic Sampling Convenience Sampling
