Question

Arrange the correct sequence in Simple Random Sampling:
(A) Select n cases randomly (using fishbowl method or random number table)
(B) Determine the size of the present population
(C) Decide on the sample size (n)
(D) Identify sampling units in the population
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B), (C), (D)
• B. (B), (D), (C), (A)
• C. (B), (A), (D), (C)
• D. (C), (B), (D), (A)

Hint:

Simple random sampling ensures every individual has an equal chance of being selected, promoting unbiased representation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The steps for conducting simple random sampling are:

1. Define Population (B): Identify the entire population for the study.
2. List Sampling Units (D): Detail the population's individual units available for selection.
3. Determine Sample Size (C): Specify the number of units (n) to be randomly chosen.
4. Randomly Select Units (A): Employ randomization tools, such as a random number generator, to select the sample.
