Purposive sampling is a non-probability sampling method and it occurs when “elements selected for the sample are chosen by the judgment of the researcher. Researchers often believe that they can obtain a representative sample by using a sound judgment, which will result in saving time and money”
while deliberate sampling is a non-probability sample design in which the researcher purposively or deliberately selects certain units of the universe to form a sample that would represent the universe. In other words, it is a sampling with a purpose. It is also known as purposive sampling.
