The statement that is not true about random samples is:

A. a random sample is designed to select certain members of the population.

This statement is not true because a random sample aims to select members of the population in such a way that each member has an equal chance of being chosen, rather than specifically selecting certain members. This helps ensure that the sample is representative of the entire population.
