A researcher selects a probability sample of 100 out of the total population purely by chance. It is called

AA quota sample
BA simple random sample ✓ Correct
CA stratified random sample
DA systematic sample
Correct answer: (B) A simple random sample
Explanation

Simple random sampling gives every unit of the population an equal and independent chance of selection.

A quota sample fills fixed numbers from categories by the researcher and is a non-probability method.

A stratified random sample first divides the population into strata and then samples within each.

A systematic sample picks every kth unit from an ordered list after a random start.

Selection purely by chance without any grouping is the defining mark of simple random sampling.

Lottery and random-number-table methods are typical ways to draw a simple random sample.
