Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The described process of selecting a few products at random from a batch for inspection to determine their quality is an example of sampling. This is a commonly used technique in quality control to ensure that a representative subset of the larger population of products meets established quality standards. Randomization (A) is a related technique used in sampling to ensure that the sample is selected in an unbiased manner. A census (B) involves examining every unit in a population, whereas sampling only looks at a subset. Profiling (C) involves analyzing patterns or characteristics of a population, which is not what is described in this scenario.
