Question

g Define simple random sampling. Choose the correct answer below. A. Simple random sampling is the process of obtaining a sample of size n from a population of the same size n. The sample is then called a simple random sample. B. Simple random sampling is the process of using chance to select individuals from a population to be included in the sample. The sample is then called a simple random sample. C. A sample of size n from a population of size N is obtained through simple random sampling if every possible sample of size n has an equally likely chance of occurring. The sample is then called a simple random sample. D. Simple random sampling is the process of selecting individuals from a population using a convenient sample. The sample is then called a simple random sample.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. A sample of size n from a population of size N is obtained through simple random sampling if every possible sample of size n has an equally likely chance of occurring. The sample is then called a simple random sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Random Sampling is the sampling where samples are chosen randomly, where each unit has an equal chance of being selected in a sample.

Option A is incorrect as the size of the sample and size of the population is not the same generally if it does happen then there will be no difference between sample and population.

Option B is incorrect as Simple Random Sampling is not a chance it is a way that samples can be taken.

Option D is incorrect as when samples are taken using a convenient sample then it is called Convenient Sample, not Simple Random Sample.

Thus, only option C is correct.
