Question

When each individual in the population has an equal opportunity of being in the sample, ______ sampling is being used. Give an example.

Answer 1

Answer: simple random sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

a simple random sample is a subset of individuals chosen from a larger set. the selection of items completely depends on chance or by probability and therefore this sampling technique is also sometimes known as a method of chances. this is the most common approach to random sampling

Answer 2

Simple random (sampling).

Step-by-step explanation:

As the exercise briefly explains, when each individual in the population has an equal opportunity of being in the sample, simple random sampling is being used. In this type of sampling, each member of the subset has the same equal chances of being chosen. It's meant to be an unbiased characterization of the population or group chosen. An example of simple random sampling would be taking out the shortest straw at a game or, another example, taking out your name in a piece of paper out of a hat alongside another 30 names.
