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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Random sampling is a method of choosing a sample of observations from a population to make assumptions about the population. It is also called probability sampling. The counterpart of this sampling is Non-probability sampling or Non-random sampling.
Detailed explanation-3: -Simple random sampling is a type of probability sampling in which the researcher randomly selects a subset of participants from a population. Each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. Data is then collected from as large a percentage as possible of this random subset.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are four primary, random (probability) sampling methods – simple random sampling, systematic sampling, stratified sampling, and cluster sampling.
Detailed explanation-5: -This method gives every member of the target group an equal chance of being selected for the sample (e.g. by assigning a number to each member, and then selecting from the pool at using a random number generator).
