There are many ways to select a random sample. Four of them are discussed below: Simple Random Sampling: In this sampling technique‚ each sample of the same size has the same probability of being selected. Such a sample is called a simple random sample. One way to select a simple random sample is by a lottery or drawing. For example‚ if we need to select 5 students from a class of 50‚ we write each of the 50 names on a separate piece of paper. Then‚ we place all 50 names in a hat and mix them thoroughly
