Answer:
The sampling is dependent because an individual selected for one sample does dictate about which individual to be selected in the second sample.

The sample is dependent as the second individual selected in the sample is dependent on the first individual selection. The sample selection is not random and is dictated. The variables selected are qualitative in nature because they identify the quality of response variable which is non numerical in nature.
