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.

Each individual is chosen entirely by chance and each member of the population has an equal chance of being included in the sample.

Detailed explanation-4: -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).
