A. the method of selection.

**Explanation:** A simple random sample (SRS) is characterized by the process used to select individuals from the population. Every individual and every possible sample of a given size has an equal chance of being chosen. This definition hinges solely on the **method of selection** (e.g., random number generators), not on examining the sample's outcome (B) or its representativeness (D). While representativeness is a goal, it is not guaranteed and does not define an SRS. Thus, the correct answer is **A**.

A. The method of selection.

A simple random sample is defined by the method of selection, where every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. This is a key concept in statistics, as it helps to ensure that the sample is representative of the population and that the results can be generalized to the larger population.

In this case, the correct answer is A, as the method of selection is the defining characteristic of a simple random sample. The other options are incorrect because:

* B. Examination of the outcome is not a defining characteristic of a simple random sample. While it's true that the outcome of a simple random sample may be examined and analyzed, this is not what defines the sample.
* C. Both of the above is incorrect because only the method of selection is a defining characteristic of a simple random sample.
* D. How representative the sample is of the population is not a defining characteristic of a simple random sample. While a simple random sample is designed to be representative of the population, this is not what defines the sample. The method of selection is what defines the sample, and the representativeness of the sample is a consequence of this method.

A simple random sample is defined by the method of randomly selecting individuals from a population, which is a specific way of selection. While the other options may be related to samples in some way, they do not specifically define a simple random sample.

Explanation:
A simple random sample is a subset of a statistical population in which each member of the subset has been chosen randomly and entirely by chance, without bias and independently of the other chosen members of the subset. The key aspect of a simple random sample is its method of selection, which ensures randomness and unbiasedness. Therefore, the answer is A.

A simple random sample is defined by the method used to select the sample, ensuring that every member of the population has an equal chance of being chosen. The examination of the outcome (B) and how representative the sample is of the population (D) are not defining characteristics of a simple random sample, although they may be important considerations in evaluating the quality of the sample. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

deepseekv3 The correct answer is:

**A. the method of selection.**

Explanation: A simple random sample is defined by the method of selection, where every possible sample of a given size has an equal chance of being selected. It does not depend on the outcome or how representative the sample is of the population.
