This characteristic of nonprobability samples may have considerable appeal in those situations where accuracy is not of critical importance. - Nonprobability samples ordinarily can be conducted more quickly than probability samples. - Sampling error cannot be computed. - The researcher does not know the degree to which the sample is representative of the population from which it was drawn. - The results of nonprobability samples cannot and should not be projected to the total population
