    What type of sampling is this?



    Hi,

    I have some confusion about the kind of sampling I'm using. I started choosing manufacturing sector and within it chose 4 industries. Later I distributed questionnaires withing those 4 industries as per my convenience (convenience sampling). What kind of sampling am I using? Thanks and appreciate any answers.

    Kind regards
    Muzi

    I was just thinking if it is probability sampling, specifically stratified sampling?

    No - there is no probability sampling aspect here.
