The only reliable way a researcher can make statistical inferences from a sample to a population is to use nonprobability sampling methods.

Researchers can make statistical inferences from a sample to a population using both probability and nonprobability sampling methods. Probability sampling methods, such as simple random sampling or stratified sampling, are often preferred as they allow for more accurate and generalizable results. Nonprobability sampling methods, such as convenience sampling or quota sampling, may introduce bias and limit the generalizability of findings.
