What is the difference between selecting a member at random from a finite population and taking a simple random sample of size 1?
Solution: The correct option is d. There is no difference
Explanation:
Random sampling: In random sampling, each and every unit of the population has an equal chance of included in the sample.
Simple random sampling: In simple random sampling, also every unit of the population has an equal chance being included in the sample.
In the given situation, the selecting a member randomly from a finite population will be same as using a simple random sampling to select sample of size 1. Therefore, there is no difference between the two.
