One Reason to Randomly Sample is Because

Question

One reason to randomly sample is because:
A) It helps to create consistent data
B) It ensures significant p-values
C) It helps to prevent bias
D) It generates the most data

Accepted Answer

Random sampling helps to prevent bias by ensuring that every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. This, in turn, increases the likelihood that the sample accurately represents the population, leading to more reliable results. The other options are not true - random sampling does not necessarily create consistent data or ensure significant p-values, and it does not generate the most data.
