Given

Population N = 10

Sample n = 2

Concept

The probability of selecting sample in SRSWOR is 1/Ncn

NCn = N!/n!(N - n)!

Calculation

The required probability is 1/10c2

⇒ 1/(10!/(2!(10 -2)!

⇒ 10!/2!/8!

⇒ (8! × 2!)/10!

⇒ 1/45

∴ the probability of selecting a specified sample of 2 units is 1/45

 When we select as SRSWR the probability of selecting sample is 1/Nn
