MCQS ON SAMPLING METHODS

 MCQS ON SAMPLING METHODS



Sampling is defined as a technique of selecting individual members or a subset from a population in order to derive statistical inferences, which will help in determining the characteristics of the whole population. There are various methods of sampling, which are broadly categorised as random sampling and non-random sampling.


Following are some of the sampling methods multiple choice questions and answers that will help the students in brushing up their understanding of the concept of sampling methods.

a) Judgement


b) Quota


c) Simple random


d) Convenience


Answer: c


Q2.Which among the following is the benefit of using simple random sampling?
