CONCEPT OF SAMPLING AND OTHER CONCEPTS RELATED TO SAMPLING

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which category of sampling is used when the probability of selecting each individual in a population is known and every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected?
A
probability sampling
B
nonprobability sampling
C
both probability and nonprobability sampling could be correct
D
neither probability nor nonprobability sampling could be correct
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Probability sampling requires that each member of the survey population has a known probability of being included in the sample, but it does not require that this probability be the same for everyone.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simple random sampling gathers a random selection from the entire population, where each unit has an equal chance of selection. This is the most common way to select a random sample.

Detailed explanation-3: -Systematic sampling is a type of probability sampling method in which sample members from a larger population are selected according to a random starting point but with a fixed, periodic interval. This interval, called the sampling interval, is calculated by dividing the population size by the desired sample size.
