QUESTION $3(25$ Marks$)$

Sampling in research refers to the process of selecting a subset of individuals or elements from a larger population to represent that population for the purpose of making inferences or generalisations about the population. The selected subset, known as the sample, should ideally be representative of the population from which it is drawn to ensure the validity and reliability of research findings.

Drawing upon the abstract and preceding questions, assess the suitability of sampling methodologies pertinent to the study outlined in the preceding Question $1,$ and provide the rationale for your selection.
