Answer 1

1 . There are a number of reasons why in the scientific based experiment radon sampling is used . The reasons are mentioned below .

• Random sampling gives equal chance and representation to every individual of being selected .
• It helps in generalizing the result to a large extent and approximation can be done .
• It also helps to reduce or we can say prevent the bias in the experiment
• It helps in studying in larger populations .As in this a smaller group is chosen and then generalization are made towards the larger group .
• Less chances of error in data analysis
• The process of making sample research groups is easy .
