What is simple random sampling?<\/h2>\n

Simple random sampling is a type of probability sampling in which all elements of the population have the same probability of being selected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This system works through a \"lottery\" method <\/strong>between a universe of individuals, in which each member is assigned a number to be chosen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For example, if a sample of 50 people needs to be selected from a universe of 1000, those 1000 people will be assigned a number and, as a lottery, 50 numbers will be randomly selected to make up the required sample.<\/p>\n

Said procedure guarantees that all sample elements have the same probability of being selected<\/strong> to be part of the sample.<\/p>\n

Advantages and disadvantages of simple random sampling<\/h2>\n

Simple random sampling has both advantages and disadvantages.<\/p>\n

Advantage<\/h3>\n

The advantages of simple random sampling are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • It is simple to assemble the samples.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Take the selection fairly <\/strong>of samples from a population.<\/li>\n
  • In general, all individuals<\/strong> of the population they have an equal chance of being selected.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • The population is representative<\/strong>, the only margin of error being luck, called sampling error.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Is he best method when explaining the results,<\/strong> since its selection is random and impartial.<\/li>\n
  • Due to the representativeness obtained generalizations can be made regarding the population,<\/strong> from the results of the samples.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Disadvantages<\/h3>\n

    The disadvantages of simple random sampling are as follows:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • A complete list is required<\/strong> of all members of the population.<\/li>\n
    • She is ready must be properly prepared<\/strong>, complete and updated.<\/li>\n
    • In large populations it's hard<\/strong> have the necessary data for this type of sampling,<\/strong> so it is recommended to use another technique.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Examples of simple random sampling<\/h2>\n

      Let's look at the following example: a consulting firm that performs audits on various organizations decides to conduct an investigation in a company where 500 employees work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      To carry out this study, the consulting firm must work on a statistical sample of 50 people (10%), <\/strong>so he chooses to use the simple random sampling method, for which he follows the following steps:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. List with number the 500 employees of the organization.<\/li>\n
      2. Choose 50 numbers at random.<\/li>\n
      3. Finally, those 50 numbers that correspond to an employee will be the individuals that make up the sample.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        In this way, the sample will be formed to carry out the investigation, having granted, to all the employees of the organization, the same chances of being selected.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
