A Review on Statistical Importance of Simple Random Sampling Techniques

Abstract

This review aims to provide a thorough examination of Simple Random Sampling (SRS) techniques, a fundamental method in the field of research and statistical analysis. Simple Random Sampling is a widely used approach for selecting a representative subset of elements from a larger population, ensuring that each member has an equal chance of being included. The paper begins by delving into the foundational principles of Simple Random Sampling, elucidating its conceptual framework and highlighting its significance in obtaining unbiased and generalizable results. Various sampling methods, such as lottery sampling and random number generation, are explored in detail to showcase the versatility and applicability of SRS across diverse research domains. The review also addresses common challenges and limitations associated with Simple Random Sampling, such as potential sampling errors and practical constraints. Strategies for mitigating these challenges are discussed, offering insights into how researchers can enhance the reliability and validity of their studies when employing SRS. Furthermore, the paper investigates recent advancements and innovations in Simple Random Sampling techniques, considering the integration of technology and statistical tools to streamline the sampling process. Emerging trends, such as the use of machine learning algorithms for optimized sample selection, are discussed to provide a forward-looking perspective on the evolution of SRS methodologies. In conclusion, this comprehensive review consolidates the existing knowledge on Simple Random Sampling, offering researchers, practitioners, and academicians a valuable resource for understanding, implementing, and refining their sampling strategies. By critically examining the strengths, limitations, and advancements in SRS, this review contributes to the ongoing dialogue surrounding effective sampling methodologies in research and statistical analysis.
