In statistical studies, '''random sampling''' refers to the extraction of values (''sampling'') of a designated input [[probability distribution]] for ensuing statistical calculations, such that the relative [[probability]] of extraction is that indicated by the input [[probability density function]] in the case of a continuous distribution or the [[probability mass function]] in the case of a discrete distribution.
