random sampling
Unbiased subset picking
Random sampling is a method of selecting subjects from a larger population where each member has an equal chance of being chosen.
The technique aims to produce a representative subset for statistical analysis, minimizing bias.
The study used random sampling to survey 500 households across the county.
Variants include stratified and cluster sampling.
