Briefly explain why it is advisable to avoid the use of convenience samples. Convenience samples require a complicated sampling frame. Convenience samples have to be larger than any other type of sample to be representative of the population. Convenience samples only select every kth individual in the population. Convenience samples are very likely to select individuals from overlapping subgroups. Convenience samples are very unlikely to be representative of the population.
