Answer 1

Answer:

Non-Random Sample

Step-by-step explanation:

A sample in which each element has an equal chance of being selected is known as a random sample. Otherwise, a sample is said to be a non - random sample.

An engineer selects five cameras on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at random between 3 pm and 4 pm each day. So, the cameras that are not in the process of production between 3 pm and 4 pm have no chances of being selected.

So, each camera does not have an equal chance of being selected.

This is an example of a non - random sample.
