However‚ simple random sampling method can be vulnerable to sampling error because the randomness of the selection may result in a sample that does not reflect the makeup of the population‚ for instance‚ a simple random of ten people from a given town will on average produce five men and five women‚ but any give trial is likely to over-represent
