Question

a ____ sample is taken from the entire population, without a person choosing each person.

a. random
b. nonconvenience
c. voluntary
d. convenience

Explanation:

A random sample is selected from a population in a way that each member has an equal chance of being chosen, without human bias in selecting each individual. Option B is not a standard sampling term. A voluntary sample relies on people volunteering (so human choice is involved), and a convenience sample is chosen for ease (also involves human - driven selection based on convenience). So the correct answer is A as it matches the description of a sample taken without a person choosing each individual.

Answer:

A. random
