Simple Random Sample

A simple random sample is a method of selecting a group of individuals from a larger population so that each person has an equal chance of being chosen. This process ensures that every member of the population has the same probability of inclusion, reducing bias and making the sample representative of the whole population. For example, if you have a list of all students in a school and randomly pick 50 names, each student has an equal opportunity to be selected. This method helps researchers gather unbiased data to draw accurate conclusions about the entire population.
