Simple Random Sampling

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or random:

    Well, I had gone and spoiled it again, made another mistake. A double one in fact. There were plenty of ways to get rid of that officer by some simple and plausible device, but no, I must pick out a picturesque one; it is the crying defect of my character.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    And catch the gleaming of a random light,
    That tells me that the ship I seek is passing, passing.
    Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872–1906)
