Simple Random Sampling

Simple random sampling (SRS) is a method for selecting a sample of 'n' units from a population of 'N' units, where each unit has an equal chance of selection. There are two approaches: sampling without replacement (SRSWOR), where selected units are not returned to the population, and sampling with replacement (SRSWR), where selected units are returned. The total number of possible samples differs between the two methods, with SRSWOR allowing for combinations (N C n) and SRSWR allowing for permutations (N^n).

Simple random sampling:

Simple random sampling (SRS) is a method of selection of a sample comprising of ‘n’


number of sampling units from the population having ‘N’ number of units such that every
sampling unit has an equal chance of being chosen.

The samples can be drawn in two possible ways

 The sampling units are chosen without replacement in the sense that the units once
chosen are not placed back in the population.
 The sampling units are chosen with replacement in the sense that the chosen units are
placed back in the population.

Based on these two concepts, there are two approaches for SRS:
1. Simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR)
SRSWOR is a method of selection of n units out of the N units one by one such that at
any stage of selection, anyone of the remaining units have same chance of being
selected, i.e., 1/N.
2. Simple random sampling with replacement (SRSWR)
SRSWR is a method of selection of n units out of the N units one by one such that at
each stage of selection each unit has equal chance of being selected, i.e., 1/N
3. In SRSWOR, the total number of possible samples of size n that can be drawn from a
population of size N are N C n

4. In SRSWR, the total number of possible samples of size n that can be drawn from a
population of size N are Nn
