4y ago#1You obviously agree with the answers for A, C, and F.
For B, the correct answer is 3. (Stopping people in the street is quota sampling and is not
random, as is explained in my lectures.
For D, the correct answer is 5 because they are taking every 10th person.
For E, the correct answer is 6 because this is effectively a definition of quota sampling.
