In which sampling technique do researchers choose a sample that reflects the numerical composition of various subgroups in a population?

A) Simple random sampling
B) Quota sampling
C) Cluster sampling
D) Purposive sampling

Quota Sampling

A non-random sampling technique where individuals are selected based on specific traits or characteristics to ensure representation of these traits in the sample.

Simple Random Sampling

A sampling method where each member of a population has an equal chance of being included in the sample, ensuring that the sample is representative of the population.

Numerical Composition

Numerical composition refers to the representation or breakdown of components in a sample or group by their numbers, often used in statistical analysis.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Quota sampling allows researchers to choose a sample that reflects the numerical composition of various subgroups in a population by establishing quotas based on specific characteristics such as age, gender, or socioeconomic status. This technique ensures that the sample is representative of the population in terms of these demographic factors.
