Usually applied to accounting, so I will answer based on accounting. If a company has 3000 accounts numbered from 1 to 3000. Lets say you are to look at 100 files. 3000/100 = 30, random sampling is not choosing every 30th account. That does not give an equal chance of selecting each file. File 101 would never be selected. This is a biased sampling. You must use some kind of random number generator to select the 100 files to look at so that every file has an equal probability of being reviewed.
In random sampling, each item or element of the population has an equal chance of being chosen at each draw. A sample is random if the method for obtaining the sample meets the criterion of randomness (each element having an equal chance at each draw). The actual composition of the sample itself does not determine whether or not it was a random sample

What is the difference between simple random sampling and random sampling?
Simple!
What sampling method?
Random Sampling
What are the various kind of sampling?
They include: Simple random sampling, Systematic sampling, Stratified sampling, Quota sampling, and Cluster sampling.
Different types of random and non random sampling?
stratified sampling, in which the population is divided into classes, and random samples are taken from each class;cluster sampling, in which a unit of the sample is a group such as a household; andsystematic sampling, which refers to samples chosen by any system other than random selection.
Is convenience sampling method not a random sampling?
You are correct; convenience sampling is not random sampling.

Which sampling method is based on probability?
There are many such methods: cluster sampling, stratified random sampling, simple random sampling.Their usefulness depends on the circumstances.
Compare the efficiency of simple random sampling with systematic random sampling for estimating the population mean and give your comments?
Compare the efficiency of simple random sampling with systematic random sampling for estimating the population mean and give your comments.
Are random sampling and stratified sampling one and same?
No.
Why do you do random assignment and random sampling?
That's a random question
What is the Difference between random and systematic sampling?
Random sampling is picking a subject at random. Systematic sampling is using a pattern to pick subjects, I.e. picking every third person.
