Convenience Sampling And Generalizability
Thomas is studying the experiences of individuals with multiple sclerosis. Due to budget constraints, he uses a sample of patients treated at a hospital near his home. Why might a researcher prefer a different type of sample?
A
A different type of sample, such as a random sample, might yield more homogeneous results.
B
A different type of sample, such as a stratified sample, might make the study more replicable.
C
A different type of sample, such as a random sample, might yield more generalizable results.
D
A different type of sample might decrease the margin of error in the research findings.
E
A different type of sample, such as a random sample, might yield less generalizable results.
