Differences between probability samplingand non-probability sampling?

the difference is just that non-probability sampling does not involve random selection, but probability sampling does.


What difference between Statistical Sampling and non statistical sampling?

an approach to sampling that has the characteristics of being randomly selected and the use of probability theory to evaluate sample results. Whereas non-statistical sampling is therefore any sampling approach that does not have both of the characteristicss of statistical sampling. I hope this will help....


What it the difference of Probability and odds.?

Probability is defined as the chance of something occurring in a non paranormal phenomena. Odd's are the chances of the Probability happening.


What are the disadvantages of non probability sampling?

It is quite likely that the sample is not representative of the population and so while statistical conclusion may be valid for the sample, they may not apply to the population.


When is non probability sampling appropriate?

In some situations stratified random sampling may be more appropriate. You may have a population which can be divided up into a number of subsets (strata) such that the difference between units in different strata is much greater than the difference between units within each stratum. A probability sample may not have enough units from some of the smaller strata. A stratified random sample will ensure that each stratum is represented proportionally. In other situations, cluster sampling may be more appropriate. Suppose you wish to visit a sample 1% of all schools in the country. If you were to choose the schools by probability sampling they would be all over the country and you would require a huge amount of time and money to visit them all. What you could do, instead, is to divide up the country into 1000 regions. Select 10 of these regions (1%) and then visit every school in the selected regions. Far less running around!
