1. The question asks if quota sampling involves dividing the population into groups. 2. Quota sampling is a non-probability sampling technique where the population is divided into exclusive subgroups or strata. 3. These groups are based on specific characteristics such as age, gender, or income. 4. The researcher then selects a predetermined number of samples from each group to meet the quota. 5. This ensures that the sample represents certain characteristics of the population. 6. Therefore, quota sampling does involve dividing the population into groups to ensure representation. Final answer: Yes, quota sampling divides the population into groups based on characteristics to select samples accordingly.
