Frecuentemente una muestra es en sí misma una verdadera miniatura del universo del cual es tomada; por lo tanto, la muestra debe ser una representación verdadera del universo del cual se toma y ese mismo universo debe ser homogéneo. La muestra representativa es una muestra al azar; es decir, una muestra escogida enteramente de manera aleatoria, según la teoría de la probabilidad. Si el azar solamente gobierna la selección de los diversos elementos que constituyen una muestra, dicha muestra será un ejemplo representativo, siempre y cuando sea lo bastante grande. 4, record 1, Spanish, - muestreo%20aleatorio

L'échantillonnage aléatoire simple est une forme d'échantillonnage probabiliste. Les méthodes d'échantillonnage probabiliste sont très différentes des méthodes d'échantillonnage non probabiliste comme l'échantillonnage de commodité, l'échantillonnage dirigé ou l'échantillonnage en boule de neige. Dans l'échantillonnage probabiliste, un échantillon est prélevé selon une démarche aléatoire qui attribue à chacun des membres de la population une probabilité connue d'être sélectionné. 2, record 2, French, - %C3%A9chantillonnage%20probabiliste
