Question

Which of the following is a random sample?

• A. Selecting a physics book from a shelf
• B. Selecting a geometry book from a shelf
• C. Selecting a book from a shelf
• D. Selecting a comic book from a shelf

Answer 1

The correct option is C Selecting a book from a shelf

Random sample refers to how the sample is drawn from the population. It is a subset of the individuals chosen from a larger set.

Hence, selecting a particular book like physics book or geometry book is not a random sample.

Selecting a book from a shelf indicates it is a random sample.
