The most commonly used one is the idea of convenience sampling, right? you are not choosing these people in any way.
00:13
You're just, you are sampling whoever shows up, right? sometimes this is called accidental sampling, right? you don't have a plan for the sample.
00:29
You just sample whoever shows up.
00:31
The other alternative, so i believe this is the right answer, but you might also introduce the idea of what's called snowball sampling.
00:42
And it's a snowball sample, because snowball describes a sampling situation where the survey jumps from person to person.
00:50
So if users pass links around, the link goes to one person and then they send it to their friends.
00:58
So if you believe that people are going to sort of distribute this survey, you've got not just a convey, convenience sample, but a snowball sample as well because individuals are snowballing the sample question on by passing it or throwing it over to their connections, whether that's their friends, their professional acquaintances, their coworkers, their family, whatever.
01:19
But i would say, i would describe this primarily as a convenience sample.
01:23
The problem is that it's biased and not suitable for inference, right? normally, right, we rely on a random sample.
01:40
This is not random, very not random, right? the types of people who spend their day clicking on internet surveys are a very unrepresentative group of the population...
