Explanation

The probability of selecting the specified member from a population size of N will be 1/N

∴ The probability of not selecting the specified member = 1- 1/N

⇒ (N – 1)N

∴ The probability of not including the specified member in the choosen sample = (1 – 1/N)n

∴ The probability of always including the specified member in the specified sample is 1 – (1 – 1/N)n

The simple random sampling with replacement = It is called SRSWR, in it a unit is selected from the sampling framE. The unit is replaced back and the next unit is selected. This process is repeated till a sample of the desired size is selected.

When n units are selected with SRSWR, the total number of possible samples are Nn
