[] (don’t forget to show it in a an excel document to show repetition is allowed) · This generator shows that a preset amount of numbers have been selected at random. Each one, however, had the same probability of being selected Example A small gardening business landscapes 9 properties. The owner wants to interview a sample of 4 clients in detail to find ways to improve services to his clients. To avoid bias, the owner chooses a simple random sample of size 4. How to answer: First you must assign each individual a ‘label’. Secondly you must use software (for example the generator) to select random numbers. **//Step 1: //** Each property is assigned a numerical label 1-9. The owner decides to use programmed software to generate numbers between 1 and 9 at random ( []). The software returns the following numbers: 3,7,8,1 Therefore the //simple random sample// to be interviewed in detail will be:

 * 6 ** – Park property
