Sammanfattning	Online simple random sampling applies the logic of classical simple random sampling (SRS) to digital data collection: every member of a defined online population has an equal and independent probability of being selected, and the survey is administered via web platform, email link, or online panel. The approach combines the statistical rigour of probability sampling with the speed and cost advantages of internet-based survey delivery.	Quota sampling is a non-probability technique in which the researcher pre-specifies how many units to recruit from each subgroup (quota cell) defined by one or more control variables such as age, gender, or occupation. Interviewers or data collectors then use their own judgment to find and enroll participants until each cell is filled. The method guarantees the sample mirrors the population on the control variables but does not provide the randomness needed for classical statistical inference.
