Directions: For each of the following research article excerpts, (1) decide whether the sampling method presented is either a probability or nonprobability sampling method; (2) identify the specific sampling method used, which might include convenience, quota, purposive, network, or theoretical sampling for nonprobability samples or simple random, stratified random, cluster, or systematic sampling for probability samples; and (3) provide a rationale for the sampling method you selected. Some of the examples might include more than one sampling method to obtain the study sample.
