What Is Simple Random Sampling?
Simple random sampling is the basic sampling technique in which a group of subjects, i.e., a sample, is selected for study from a larger group, i.e., a population. Each individual is chosen entirely by chance and each member of the population has an equal chance of being included in the sample. Every possible sample of a given size has the same chance of selection; i.e. each member of the population is equally likely to be chosen at any stage in the sampling process. 5. How do you organize a simple random sampling? A simple random sample is formed by assigning each member of the population a number and then indiscriminately selecting from these numbers. One way to make the selection random is to use a random number table or let a computer generate a series of random numbers. Each member of the population is assigned a unique number, or perhaps a number is already assigned to each member, such as a social security number or telephone number. The members of the population chosen for the
