Random Sampling increases the reliability and validity of your research findings.
To begin with,
Reliability:
By randomly picking research participants, the likelihood that they are from different backgrounds/ have different experiences etc. is higher and hence, they are said to be more representative of the population of interest.
EG: RQ: Do females have higher IQ?
A case of random sampling will pick females who are housewives/ CEOs/ Indian/ 18yrs old/ Divorced etc. the list goes on.
While a case of non-random sampling (such as picking participants at a bus stop) may only result in a sample of females who are 20 - 35 years old, working professionals.
Validity: As reliability and validity are related, for the research findings to be reliable and generalizable to the population of interest, it first has to be a valid sample.
Hence, from the above example,
EG1 provides a valid sample, while EG2 is invalid.
What else can I help you with?
What is simple random sampling and stratified random sampling?
yes
Which sampling method is based on probability?
There are many such methods: cluster sampling, stratified random sampling, simple random sampling.Their usefulness depends on the circumstances.
Are random sampling and stratified sampling one and same?
No.
What is the Difference between random and systematic sampling?
Random sampling is picking a subject at random. Systematic sampling is using a pattern to pick subjects, I.e. picking every third person.
What type of sampling produces representative samples?

Why is a random sampling?
Random sampling is a statistical technique used to select a subset of individuals from a larger population, ensuring that each member has an equal chance of being chosen. This method helps to minimize bias, making the sample more representative of the entire population. As a result, conclusions drawn from the sample can be generalized to the broader population with greater accuracy. Overall, random sampling enhances the validity and reliability of research findings.
Are random sampling and stratified sampling one and same?
No.
