Question

Explain the difference between a simple random sample and a systematic sample.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple random sampling otherwise called probability sampling involves selecting a subset of a part of a population in which each member of the population has equal chances of being selected while systematic sampling involves the use of sampling interval which is determined by dividing the population by the sample size and a random starting point is selected. for example let say we have a population of 1000 people and we want to systematically select 50 people, 1000 /  50 = 20, it means after choosing a random starting point, we select every 20th person after the starting point until the desire sample size has been attained.
