Assertion (A) : A random sample is a systematic form of sample selection that is representative of a population.

Reason(R) : Hypothesis testing is always about a population and not about a sample in inferential statistics.
Codes :

  • A.(A) is true, but (R) is false.
  • B.Both(A) and (R) are false.
  • C.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  • D.(A) is false, but (R) is true.

Answer: C

The key gives the third option, both true and (R) the correct explanation of (A). A random sample is a systematic form of selection in which each member of the population has a known chance of being chosen, so it is representative of the population, and hypothesis testing in inferential statistics is concerned with a population, using the sample as the basis for the decision, which the key takes as the explanation. The relation between the two statements is a matter of reading, so a reviewer may note it. The other options are not accepted.
