Simple random sampling Vs Convinience sampling

Sampling random sampling
1) Every individual has equal chance of getting selected
2) Items are selected randomly
3) Individuals are selected without bias
4) Results can be applied/generalized to the population

Convenience sampling
1) Nearest individuals are chosen to serve as sample participants
2) Items are selected purposively
3) Individuals are selected with bias
4) Results/findings cannot be generalized to the population
