Rationale.

2. Which of the following does not belong to the category of non probability sample?

(A) Quota sample

(B) Multi-stage sample
(C) Purposive sample
(D) Incidental sample

Answ er - (B)

Quota sampling is a non-probability samplingtechnique wherein the assembled sample has

the same proportions of individuals as the entire population with respect to known
characteristics, traits or focused phenomenon.

Multistage sampling divides large populations into stages to make the sampling process more practical. A
combination of stratified sampling or cluster sampling and simple random sampling is usually used.

A purposive sample is a non-probability sample that is selected based on characteristics of a

population and the objective of the study. Purposive sampling is also known as judgmental,
selective, or subjective sampling

Purposeful sampling is widely used in qualitative research for the identification and selection
of information-rich cases related to the phenomenon of interest. Although there are several
different purposeful sampling strategies, criterion sampling appears to be used most
commonly in implementation research.

contributes more to institutional effectiveness, this will be an example of

(A) Ex post facto research

(B) Action research
(C) Applied research
(D) Fundamental research

Answ er - (C)

Ex – post facto== Ex post facto design is a quasi-experimental studyexamining how an
