Σύνοψη	Weighted quota sampling combines quota sampling — recruiting a set number of respondents matching pre-specified demographic cells — with post-collection statistical weighting that adjusts each respondent's contribution to match known population proportions. The result is a non-probability design with a bias-correction mechanism, widely used in market research, political polling, and applied social surveys when probability sampling is impractical but representativeness remains a goal.	Simple random sampling (SRS) is the foundational probability sampling method in which every unit in the population has an equal and independent chance of being selected. Because selection is governed purely by chance, SRS eliminates systematic bias, supports unbiased estimation of population parameters, and provides the statistical baseline against which all more complex probability designs are evaluated.
