    • 1. Obtain a complete list of all members of the target population.
    • 2. Put the names in a hat and pull out the number of participants required.
    • STRENGTH
      • Least biased – all members of the target population have an equal chance of being selected so more likely to be representative

      • No guarantee that the sample will be representative, however having large numbers of participants can help to ensure the sample is representative
