Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The goal of selecting probability samples is to obtain a representative sample from the population. A representative sample ensures that the characteristics observed in the sample accurately reflect the characteristics of the population. This requires a random selection process that gives every individual in the population an equal chance of being selected, which helps to avoid bias and produce reliable results. Therefore, choice D - "representative" - is the best choice.
