Explanation

A key attribute that differentiates statistical sampling from non-statistical sampling is randomness. In statistical sampling, the selection of samples is based on random methods, ensuring that every item in the population has an equal chance of being selected. This allows for the use of mathematical techniques to quantify the sampling risk and to draw conclusions about the population. In contrast, non-statistical sampling does not rely on random selection, and the samples are chosen based on judgment or other non-random criteria.
