It is when you specifically choose the people that you "sample", in order to collect data about them. (As opposed to picking numbers representing people out of a hat, etc... ). For example, if you wanted to collect some sort of data from every male currently living within the same postcode as yourself, that would be nonrandom.
"Non-random" varies a lot depending on what you're actually sampling. What would be "random" in one context can be "nonrandom" in another.
What else can I help you with?
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
How many types of random sampling?
There are several types of random sampling, with the most common being simple random sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling, and systematic sampling. Simple random sampling gives each member of the population an equal chance of being selected. Stratified sampling involves dividing the population into subgroups and sampling from each subgroup. Cluster sampling selects entire groups or clusters, while systematic sampling involves selecting members at regular intervals from a randomly ordered list.
Breifly explain three different examples of sampling?
simple random, stratified sampling, cluster sampling
What is opposite of random?
nonrandom or not random or precisely
What does nonrandom mating mean and give examples?
Me and You
What the opposite of random?

What effects can nonrandom mating exert on a population?
none
What are the various kind of sampling?
They include: Simple random sampling, Systematic sampling, Stratified sampling, Quota sampling, and Cluster 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 is convenience sampling in statistics?
It is a form of nonrandom sampling. In essence it means obtaining observations that are easiest to get. For example, asking your friends how they plan to vote would be a political poll based on a convenience sample. Many types of formal, probability statistics are meaningless when convenience sampling is done. The researcher cannot claim to "generalize" their findings to any particular population. You probably could not accurately (i.e., within a couple percentage points) predict an election result based only on what your friends say. Therefore most typical statistical studies would avoid convenience sampling. It may be very useful for qualitative studies, but less so for quantitative work.
What are the sources of sampling errors?
