Explain how quota sampling can be used to simulate stratified random sampling or proportionate stratified random sampling in situations where the entire population is not known
What will be an ideal response?
Quota sampling can simulate stratified random sampling by setting equal quotas for each of the subgroups that make up the population. Quota sampling can simulate proportionate stratified random sampling by setting quotas that correspond to the actual proportions that exist in the population. For example, if the population is known to have 11% Hispanics (even though the exact number is not known), a quota of 11% Hispanics could be set for the sample.
