There are 4 types of sampling techniques
1) Simple random sampling
2) cluster sampling
3) Systematic sampling
4) Stratified random sampling
here we have to prove that the given design is an example of simple random sampling
In simple random sampling selection of samples totally depends on luck or probability
But in the above design, there is no evidence that each student chosen randomly and by chance
Hence this sampling design is not a random sampling then it belongs to which sampling technique?
basically, it is an example of cluster sampling. in the cluster, the sampling researcher divides the population into small groups. then select randomly among these cluster to form a sample
