Researchers choose simple random sampling to make generalizations about a population. Major advantages include its simplicity and lack of bias.

A simple random sample is a subset of a statistical population where each member of the population is equally likely to be chosen.

Stratified Simple Random Sampling: Multiple Populations Suppose you take two simple random samples, fifty men and fifty women, and ask the same question as before. You are now sampling two different ...

In a simple random sample, each individual in the population has an equal probability of being chosen. Additionally, each sample of size n has an equal probability of being the chosen sample. This ...

Researchers use the simple random sample methodology to choose a subset of individuals from a larger population. While easier to implement than other methods, it can be costly and time-consuming.
