The correct answer is Both Statement I and Statement II are false.

Key Points The given statements are reversed in terms of the correct definitions.

Statement I: Sampling where each member of the population cannot be chosen more than once is called 'sampling with replacement'.

  • In sampling with replacement, each member of the population has the possibility of being chosen more than once. This means that after a member is selected, they are returned to the population, and they have a chance of being selected again.

 

Statement II: Sampling where each member of the population may be chosen more than once is called 'sampling without replacement'.

  • In sampling without replacement, each member of the population can be chosen only once. Once a member is selected, they are not returned to the population, and they are excluded from further selection.

So, Statement I should refer to 'sampling without replacement', and Statement II should refer to 'sampling with replacement'.

Hence, the correct answer is Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
