Simple random sampling.
With a probabilistic method, each member of the population has the same probability of being selected for the sample. Equivalently, given a sample size, every sample of that size has the same probability of being the sample which is selected. With such a sample it is easier to find an unbiased estimate of common statistical measures. None of this is true for non-probabilistic sampling.
random sample
This is called a random sample.
Simple random sampling = A process of selecting subjects in such a way that each member of the population has an equal likelihood of being selected; you can throw all your subjects into a hat and draw them out one by one, or assign each member a number and choose every fifth number to be a participant.Probability sampling=A sampling procedure in which the probability that each element of the population will be included in the sample can be specified; you have a specific number of subjects and you know that they have a 50/50 chance of being chosen, or because of an anomaly, they may only have a 20/100 chance of being chosen for the experiment.*Your teacher is being tricky however, because there are 4 basic types of Probability sampling and simple random sampling is one of them. Also are stratified, systematic and cluster sampling. All four fall under the general title of Probability Sampling (P.S.)!! P.S. is kinda like the category and the 4 types are just different ways to do the sample, each has their own "little differences" in how the data is collected and assigned.
Every member in the population has the same probability of being in the sample.Or, equivalently, every set of the given sample size has the same probability of being selected.
When each member of the population has the same probability of being selected as a member of the sample.
Systematic sampling
Random sampling is a method of selecting a sample where each member of the population has the same probability of being included in the sample. An equivalent statement is that each subset of the population, of the given size, has the same probability of being selected as any other subset of that size.
Each member of the population must have the same probability of being included in the sample. Equivalently, each set of elements comprising a sample must have the same probability of being selected.
With a probabilistic method, each member of the population has the same probability of being selected for the sample. Equivalently, given a sample size, every sample of that size has the same probability of being the sample which is selected. With such a sample it is easier to find an unbiased estimate of common statistical measures. None of this is true for non-probabilistic sampling.
Probability sampling, according to which, a member of the population has the same probability of being included in the sample as any other member. Equivalently, each sample of a given size has the same probability of being chosen.Stratified and cluster sampling are variations on this idea. In stratified sampling, the population can be divided up into strata such that members within each stratum are more like each other than across strata. One example may be school pupils in different year groups. A sampling scheme could assign a number to be sampled from each stratum (perhaps according to how large that group is) and then, within that stratum, to use simple probability sampling.Cluster sampling is used when the entire population can be split up into clusters. Clusters are selected using probability sampling. Then a census is used within each cluster. For example, if you wanted to sample schools across the country, a simple probability sample would result in schools all over the country and the travelling costs (and time) would be prohibitive. Instead, you divide the country up into regions and take a probability sample of these regions. You end up visiting every school within the few selected regions.
random sample
This is known as a simple random sample, where each member of the population has an equal probability of being chosen. It is a fair and unbiased method of sampling that ensures representation from the entire population. Simple random sampling is commonly used in research studies and surveys to draw conclusions that can be generalized back to the larger population.
The best way to reduce sampling error is to use random sampling in the study. This means selecting the population to study through a random process. This will ensure that each member of the population under study has an equal chance of being selected.
