Question

Describe this sampling method: "Survey the first 40 students who enter the main

office".

Answer 1

Convenience sampling

Explanation:

From the question, we understand that 40 of all students are to be surveyed. This implies that from the 41st till the last student will not be a part of the survey.

When sampling is done, taking a part of the whole population that is near or readily available; such sampling is referred to as convenience sampling.

The whole population, in this case are all students while the convenience being selected are the first 40 students.
