Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
A probability sample is a sample that is selected in such a way that each member of the population has an equal chance of being included in the sample. The probability of selection can be accurately determined, and the sample should be representative of the population. However, a probability sample should not be chosen based on convenience; instead, it should be chosen randomly to ensure that each individual has an equal chance of being selected.Discussion
