A sampling variability is the tendency of the same statistic computed from a number of random samples drawn from the same population to differ.
In pharmaceutical analysis, sampling methods are crucial for ensuring that the collected samples accurately represent the entire batch of a drug product. Common methods include random sampling, where samples are chosen randomly from different parts of the batch; systematic sampling, which involves selecting samples at regular intervals; and stratified sampling, where the batch is divided into subgroups and samples are taken from each group. Proper sampling techniques are essential to minimize variability and ensure reliable analytical results that reflect the quality and consistency of the pharmaceutical product.
True sampling is often unknown because it requires access to the entire population and complete knowledge of its characteristics, which is rarely feasible in practice. Additionally, biases in data collection methods, non-response rates, and the inherent variability within populations can skew results, making it difficult to ascertain an accurate representation. As a result, researchers often rely on probabilistic sampling techniques and statistical inference to estimate population parameters rather than achieving true sampling.
They include: Simple random sampling, Systematic sampling, Stratified sampling, Quota sampling, and Cluster sampling.
The primary disadvantage of quota random sampling is that it can introduce bias if the selection within each quota is not truly random. This method relies on researchers to fill specific quotas for certain characteristics, which may lead to overrepresentation or underrepresentation of certain groups. Additionally, it can limit the diversity of the sample, as it may not capture the full variability of the population. Lastly, the results may not be generalizable to the entire population due to potential sampling biases.

Julie do you have anything else to add on to your question
Soil texture: Sampling should consider variations in soil texture (e.g., sand, silt, clay) as it affects water movement and nutrient availability. Depth: Soil sampling depth can impact nutrient distribution and root penetration, so samples should be collected from varying depths. Spatial variability: The spatial distribution of soil properties (e.g., pH, organic matter) can vary within a field, so sampling locations should be selected to capture this variability.

They include: Simple random sampling, Systematic sampling, Stratified sampling, Quota sampling, and Cluster sampling.
Answer is Quota sampling. Its one of the method of non-probability sampling.
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.
You are correct; convenience sampling is not random sampling.
