Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Simple random sampling. In simple random sampling (SRS), each sampling unit of a population has an equal chance of being included in the sample. Consequently, each possible sample also has an equal chance of being selected.

Detailed explanation-2: -The best way to avoid sampling bias is to conduct simple random sampling, in which samples are chosen strictly by chance. This provides equal odds for every member of the population to be chosen as a participant in your study.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sampling is the process of selecting a representative group from the population under study. The target population is the total group of individuals from which the sample might be drawn.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is random assignment? In experimental research, random assignment is a way of placing participants from your sample into different groups using randomization. With this method, every member of the sample has a known or equal chance of being placed in a control group or an experimental group.
