Question and options
Probability sampling is rarely used in qualitative research because
- Qualitative researchers are not trained in statistics
- It is very old-fashioned
- It is often not feasible
- Research questions are more important than sampling
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - It is often not feasible
Qualitative research works with small, purposively chosen samples and often lacks a sampling frame, so probability sampling is often not feasible (and not needed for its aims).
