What do we mean by random sample?
- A simple random sample (or SRS) in statistics is a subset of individuals (a sample) chosen at random from a larger set (a population) with the same probability.
- It is the process of selecting a sample at random.
- In SRS, each subset of k people has the same chance of being chosen for the sample as any other subset of k people.
A simple random sample is an unbiased sampling technique. - Simple random sampling is a fundamental type of sampling that can be used to supplement more complex sampling methods.
To find what number of children occurred the least frequently:
- We know that a total of 1250 couples were polled.
- Determine the lowest frequency and divide it by the total number of couples surveyed.
- The lowest frequency corresponds to 5 or more children.
The percentage is as follows:
- 50/1250 × 100 = 4.72
Therefore, only (B) 4.72% of the couples polled have 5 or more children.
