CONCEPT OF SAMPLING AND OTHER CONCEPTS RELATED TO SAMPLING

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Each student at a school has a student identification number. Counselors have a computer generate 50 random identification numbers and those students are asked to take a survey. What type of sampling method is being used?
A
Simple Random Sampling
B
Stratified Random Sampling
C
Cluster Random Sampling
D
Systematic Random Sampling
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Writing the name of the students on paper and drawing them from a hat will be the ideal process for the random sampling as there is an equal chance for each student to be selected randomly.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are four primary, random (probability) sampling methods – simple random sampling, systematic sampling, stratified sampling, and cluster sampling.

Detailed explanation-3: -Systematic sampling is a probability sampling method where researchers select members of the population at a regular interval – for example, by selecting every 15th person on a list of the population. If the population is in a random order, this can imitate the benefits of simple random sampling.
