________ can be broken down into two basic types: probability and nonprobability.

Sampling Types

Different methodologies used in statistical analysis for selecting a subset of individuals or items from a population to estimate characteristics of the whole population.

Probability

The measure of the likelihood that an event will occur, expressed as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates impossibility and 1 indicates certainty.

Nonprobability

A sampling technique where elements of the population do not have a known or predetermined chance of being selected.
