¡Random
sampling is the purest form of
probability sampling.
¡
¡Each member of the population has an equal and known chance of being
selected.
¡
¡When there are very large populations, it is often ‘difficult’ to
identify every member of the population, so the pool of available subjects
becomes biased.

lYou can use software, such as minitab to generate random numbers or to
draw directly from the columns
