Probability is the number of occurrences of a specific event divided by the total number of possible events. Suppose you took a multiple choice test with 4 possible answer's A, B, C, D. Only 1 of the 4 choices is correct; so the probability of correct is 1/4 and the probability of incorrect is 3/4. Most of the time the two probabilities will not be the same.
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.
Simple random sampling.
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 key feature is that each sample of the given size has the same probability of being selected as the sample. Equivalently, each unit in the population has the same probability of being included in the sample.
Every member in the population has the same probability of being in the sample.Or, equivalently, every set of the given sample size has the same probability of being selected.
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.
The probability is 1 in 6 as there are 6 sides on a dice and an even chance of each side being selected.
Simple random sampling.
Systematic sampling
0.25 * 0.25 = 0.0625
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.

Every member in the population has the same probability of being in the sample.Or, equivalently, every set of the given sample size has the same probability of being selected.
Non-probability sampling is a type of sampling technique whereby all the units of a population do not have an equal chance of being selected in the sample.it may further be divided intoConvenience: Sampling units are selected as per convenience of the researcherPurposive: The units selected in a sample are selected because they posses some requires characteristic e.g., clinical knowledge etc
random sample
When each member of the population has the same probability of being selected as a member of the sample.
There are 4 suits in a deck of cards; each suit has a probability of being selected of 1/4. So, probability of a diamond is 1/4 or 0.25.
