Answer:

Convenience Sampling

Explanation:

Since in the given case items are not selected randomly for sampling, neither any groups or clusters are created, this form of sampling is not random sampling or clustered sampling.

Sampling refers to the technique of arriving at a conclusion by selecting n number of items and the results obtained from observation of those selected n number of items shall be representative of the entire population.

There are two forms of sampling namely probability and non probability forms of sampling.

The quality control officer in this case applied convenience sampling wherein observations are chosen as per the availability and convenience. Likewise in the present case, first 100 mattresses which were manufactured were taken up for sampling.

This is a non probability form of sampling.

What does it mean that in a free market that buyers compete against other buyers for goods and services and that sellers compete
mina [271]
That is economics. Also known as 'Supply and Demand'.It means that the buyers are competing against each other like if one person wants the new Lamborghini and another also wants it, but there is only one in stock, they will have to compete not by fighting but by business, same with the sellers. If there is this new hat and a lot of sellers have it, the sellers will have to compete to sell the hats at the best price, but also earn a profit. Who ever has the best price will attract the buyers.

(P.S. A free market is a market in which the Government does not get involved between the buyer and the seller. That is called Capitalism. In some countries, the Government puts the price. So the Government is getting involved. That is called Communism:)
