Harshit is working with a large dataset that would be except - CompTIA Data + DA0-001

Question

Harshit is working with a large dataset that would be exceptionally burdensome to analyze line-by-line. He decides to break up the dataset. Each entry is now equally likely to be selected at random. This is an example of what?

Answers
  1. correct
Explanation

Correct Answer: b) Simple Random Sampling

Simple Random Sampling is a statistical method where each entry in a dataset has an equal probability of being selected. Since Harshit is randomly selecting from his dataset with equal likelihood, this matches the definition of Simple Random Sampling.

Incorrect Answers:

Stratified Random Sampling – Involves dividing data into specific groups (strata) before sampling to ensure representation. Harshit did not categorize his data into groups, so this is incorrect.

Data Reduction – Focuses on reducing the size of a dataset by removing redundant or unnecessary data, which is different from randomly selecting entries for analysis.

Data Aggregation – Involves combining data from multiple sources or summarizing data (e.g., calculating averages or totals). Harshit is sampling, not aggregating.
