About Simple Random Sampling

Simple Random Sampling (SRS) is a probability sampling method where every element in the population has an equal chance of being selected.

Key Characteristics:

  • Every element has probability n/N of being selected
  • All samples of size n are equally likely
  • Finite Population Correction (FPC) is applied when sampling > 5% of population

Sample Size Formula: n = (Z² × p × (1-p)) / (e² + (Z² × p × (1-p))/N)
