Simple Random Sampling:

• Each individual/study unit from the sample frame has equal chance of getting selected
• The results will be applicable to entire population(sample frame)
• Complete list of all the study units in the sample frame is required
• Representativeness of the sample is given more importance
• Kown as lottery method

Convinience Sampling:

• Each individual/study unit from the sample frame dose not have the equal chance of getting selected. Only easily accessible by the researcher have the chance of getting selected
• The results will be applicable to only the selected group of individuals
• Complete list of all the study units in the sample frame may not be required
• Accessibility of the sample is given more importance
• Known as accidental sampling & opportunity sampling
