Final answer:

The Simple Random Sample Technique ensures that each individual in a population has an equal and independent chance of being selected for the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Simple Random Sample Technique refers to a method of selecting a sample where each item or subject in the population has an equal and independent chance of being included in the sample. This means that every possible sample of a given size has the same chance of selection; for example, each person in a town has an equal chance of being chosen for a survey. Simple random sampling can be likened to putting all the individuals' names into a hat and drawing out as many as needed, or using a random number generator to select participants from a list numerically.
