Both methods can provide meaningful as well as accurate data, but noticeable limitations can be encountered as well as advantages gained from these methods. Thus, in classic statistical usages, populations are generally enormous; therefore, when the budget and human resources have limitations, and time is of the essence, sampling becomes a viable option.
