A convenience sample is simply one in which the researcher uses any subjects that are available to

participate in the research study. This could mean stopping people in a street corner as they pass by
or surveying passersby in a mall. It could also mean surveying friends, students, or colleagues that
the researcher has regular access to

proportions of individuals as the entire population with respect to known characteristics, traits or focused
phenomenon.

A voluntary sample is one of the main types of non-probability sampling methods. A voluntary sample is made up of
people who self-select into the survey. Often, these folks have a strong interest in the main topic of the survey.

A maximum variation sample is a purposefully selected sample of persons or settings that represent a wide range of
experience related to the phenomenon of interest. With a maximum variation sample, the goal is not to build a
random and generalizable sample, but rather to try to represent a range of experiences related to what one is
studying. Maximum variation sampling is an emergent or sequential approach what one learns from initial
participants can inform the subsequent direction of the study.

Typical case sampling is a type of purposeful sampling in which, subjects are selected who are likely to behave as
most of their counterparts would. For example, an evaluator might select students with a socio-demographic profile
like that of the larger population of interest.
