Without looking, Hansen took 5 flash cards out of his box of flash cards. Is this a random sample of the flash cards in the box? yes no

Yes, Hansen's action can be considered a random sample if we assume he chose the cards without any particular method or bias. The random selection helps ensure that each card had an equal chance of being picked, which is a key characteristic of random sampling. However, if Hansen had some knowledge of the cards beforehand or tendencies to pick certain ones, that could introduce bias and skew the randomness of the sample. To maintain true randomness, it's best to have a clear method, like closing one's eyes while picking!
