Simple random sampling:
A simple random sample of size n is collected from a large population where each and every unit in the population is equally likely to be selected in the sample.
Random assignment:
A random assignment is a technique for placing participants to different groups in an experiment using randomization. This can be done using flipping the coin or by using random numbers. This ensures that every participant has an equal chance of being selected in any group and each group is equivalent.
Here, the student is asked to complete a survey about study habits. Thus, the study does not appear to use random sampling. Also since random sampling is not done the students cannot be assigned randomly.
Answer:
a.The study does not use random sampling.
b.The study does not use random assignment.
