Chapter 1, Problem 1.21AC

You want to select a random sample of n = 1 from a population of three items (which are called A, E, and C). The rule for selecting the sample is as follows: Flip a coin; fit is heads, pick item A; if it is tails, flip the coin again; this time, fit is heads, choose B; if it is tails, choose C. Explain why this is a probability sample but not a simple random sample.
