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: -Random sampling vs random assignment Random sampling (also called probability sampling or random selection) is a way of selecting members of a population to be included in your study. In contrast, random assignment is a way of sorting the sample participants into control and experimental groups.

Detailed explanation-3: -Random assignment. Random assignment is a procedure used in experiments to create multiple study groups that include participants with similar characteristics so that the groups are equivalent at the beginning of the study.

Detailed explanation-4: -The use of random assignment means that every person in the study has an equal chance of being assigned to any of the conditions of the study. The use of random assignment makes it highly likely that the groups of participants in different experimental conditions are highly similar to one another.
