Random sample When a sample is not representative, it can be known as a random sample. ... This type of sampling may include choosing every fifth person from a population list to gather a sample. While this method takes a systematic approach, it is still likely to result in a random sample.

Answer:

Random sample

Explanation:

This is especially apparent if the sample size is small, as small preferances will have a major bias. Larger sample sizes are ideal as they will be representative of the population due to less bias from individuals.
