Question

A potential drawback of Simple Random Sampling is:

Select one:
a. All possible combinations of individual sampling units can be sampled
b. It may be difficult to assign random numbers to all possible individual sampling units
c. The sample mean may be biased
d. The sample variance may be biased
e. Some individual sampling units may be left out

Answer 1

Ans.

b)It may be difficult to assign random numbers to all possible individual sampling units

Explanation:

If simple random sampling is going to be an effective research method, then there must be a significant population or demographic available to start the selection process. If you only have 10 people in a specific situation, surveying only two of them will not give you an accurate representation of how everyone feels in many circumstances. There must be a larger size available to use this method. Smaller groups work better when researchers include everyone in the sample because that process gives you a complete look at the situation instead of only a partial one. but the population is very large then difficult to assign random number each individual of population and its is a huge drawback of Simple random sampling then population are considerable.not too small and not too large also.
