A probability sample is one in which each member of the population has a known, non-zero chance of being selected, allowing for statistical inference and generalization to the larger population. In contrast, a non-probability sample does not provide all individuals in the population with a chance of being included, often relying on subjective judgment or convenience. This can lead to biases and limits the ability to make generalizations about the population. Overall, probability sampling is typically more rigorous and reliable for research purposes.
the difference is just that non-probability sampling does not involve random selection, but probability sampling does.
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....
Probability is defined as the chance of something occurring in a non paranormal phenomena. Odd's are the chances of the Probability happening.
A quota sample is a non-probability sampling method where researchers ensure that specific characteristics (such as age, gender, or income) are represented in the sample according to predetermined quotas. In contrast, a random sample is a probability sampling method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected, ensuring that the sample is representative of the overall population. This fundamental difference affects the generalizability of the findings, with random samples typically providing more reliable and unbiased results.
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.
In a probability sample, each unit has the same probability of being included in the sample. Equivalently, given a sample size, each sample of that size from the population has the same probability of being selected. This is not true for non-probability sampling.
the difference is just that non-probability sampling does not involve random selection, but probability sampling does.
With a probabilistic method, each member of the population has the same probability of being selected for the sample. Equivalently, given a sample size, every sample of that size has the same probability of being the sample which is selected. With such a sample it is easier to find an unbiased estimate of common statistical measures. None of this is true for non-probabilistic sampling.
A sample of a population that is based on factors other than randomness.
Convenience sampling or quota sampling.
In probability sampling,every item in the population has a known chance of being selected as a member.In non-probability sampling, the probability that any item in the population will be selected for a sample cannot be determined.
refers to difference between sample & population that exist only coz of the observations that happened to be selected for the sample.
Statistical sampling is an objective approach using probability to make an inference about the population. The method will determine the sample size and the selection criteria of the sample. The reliability or confidence level of this type of sampling relates to the number of times per 100 the sample will represent the larger population. Non-statistical sampling relies on judgment to determine the sampling method,the sample size,and the selection items in the sample.

Non-probability or Judgement Samples has to do with a basic researcher assumptions about the nature of the population, the researcher assumes that any sample would be representative to the population,the results of this type of samples can not be generalized to the population(cause it may not be representative as the research assumed) and the results may be biased. Probability or Random samples is a sample that to be drawn from the population such that each element in the population has a chance to be in the selected sample the results of the random samples can be used in Statistical inference purposes
