Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) A random sample is a sample selected broadly from all available members of the population you want to study. This is the best alternative if you want to generalize your findings to everyone you are studying. A sample is random when every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) A targeted sample is a sample restricted to specific people within the group you are studying. For example, if you do most of your training with new hires, you might survey employees who were hired within the last year.
