    Simple random sampling is a statistical method where every individual in a population has an equal probability of being selected for the sample. It is considered an unbiased sampling technique where selection depends solely on chance. The key aspects are that every sample member has the same chance of selection and the sample represents a smaller portion of the overall population that can be studied to make inferences.

    Simple random sampling is a statistical method in which everyone in a

    population has an equal chance of being selected into a sample. The


    sample represents a smaller and more manageable portion of the people
    that can be studied and analyzed. It’s a fundamental technique to gather
    data and make inferences about a population.

    Simple random sampling is considered a fair and unbiased sample


    selection method. This type of sampling is the most straightforward sample
    selection method.

    What is Simple Random Sampling?


    Simple random sampling is a technique where every item in
    the population has an even chance and likelihood of being
    selected. Here, the selection of items entirely depends on luck
    or probability. Therefore, this sampling technique is also a
    method of chance.
    Simple random sampling is a fundamental method and can
    easily be a component of a more complex method. The main
    attribute of this sampling method is that every sample has the
    same probability of being chosen.
    Simple Random Sampling Formula
    Consider that a hospital has 1000 staff members and must allocate a night
    shift to 100 members. All their names will be put in a bucket to be randomly
    selected. Since each person has an equal chance of being selected. Since
    we know the population size (N) and sample size (n), the calculation can be
    as follows:

    P=1- N-1/N.N-2/N-1….N-n/N-(n-1)

    Cancelling=1-N-n/N

    =n/N

    =100/1000

    =10%
    Simple Random Sampling Steps
    Follow these steps to extract a simple random sample of 100 employees
    out of 500.

    1. Make a list of all the employees working in the organization. (as


    mentioned above, there are 500 employees in the organization, so
    the record must contain 500 names).
    2. Assign a sequential number to each employee (1,2,3…n). This is
    your sampling frame (the list from which you draw your sample).
    3. Figure out what your sample size is going to be. (In this case, the
    sample size is 100).
    4. Use a random number generator to select the sample, using
    your frame (population size) from Step 2 and your sample size from
    Step 3. For example, if your sample size is 100 and your population
    is 500, generate 100 random numbers between 1 and 500.

    It is important to note that Simple Random Sampling is just one of


    many sampling methods available, and it may not always be the best
    option for your specific research needs.
