Can u please tell me a good simple definition for probability sampling?
A probability sampling is one in which every unit in the population has a chance (greater than zero) of being selected in the sample, and this probability can be accurately determined. The combination of these traits makes it possible to produce unbiased estimates of population totals, by weighting sampled units according to their probability of selection.

Is this okay for me to write? Probability sampling is done by choosing random individuals to be a part of the market research?

Im confused here guys, do i need to really know the usefulness of the different types of averages? Mean, mode and median? Seems like a waste of time memorizing all the uses and drawbacks etc

Variance Formulae
standard costing is all about setting standards and comparing them with actual results
there are three budgets
1 master budget (mb) this is the original budget, based on set standards for the budgeted number of production units and costs
2 flexed budget (fb) this is based on the same standards used in the master budget, but flexed for the actual number of units produced
3 actual budget (ab) this is the actual budget made for the the actual number of units and at actual costs

hope this helps

What is so confusing about that?
Instead of recieving cash for your sale of your non-current asset, you recieve another.
