Question

A population consists of $N=500$ experimental units. Use a random number table to select a random sample of $n=20$ experimental units. (HINT: Since you need to use three-digit numbers, you can assign 2 three-digit numbers to each of the sampling units in the manner shown in the table.) What is the probability that each experimental unit is selected for inclusion in the sample?

Step 1

For example, the first unit could be assigned numbers 001-002, the second unit 003-004, and so on, until the 500th unit is assigned numbers 999-000. Show more…

Key Concepts

Inclusion Probability

The probability that a particular experimental unit is selected in the sampling process. In simple random sampling without replacement, this probability is calculated as the sample size divided by the total population size, ensuring equal opportunity for all units.

Simple Random Sampling

A method of sampling in which every possible sample of a given size has an equal probability of being selected. This ensures that each individual unit in the population has the same chance of being chosen, minimizing bias and ensuring representativeness.
