Weighted Quota Sampling — Quota Sampling with Post-Collection Weighting

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.
