Question

What process is most commonly used to select survey participants so that they are a representative sample of the population that is being studied?

Answer 1

The correct answer is random selection.

Random selection refers to the process by which a random group of participants are selected for a research study. Random selection is used to avoid biases and distorted results so that the findings obtained are representative of the population being studied and similarly, the findings obtained from a random sample can be extrapolated to the population.
