Solution

The following statements are true:

  • A simple random sample could consist of three women's names.
  • A simple random sample could consist of three men's names.
  • This is an example of a simple random sample.

The statement "The sample would have two men and one woman since there are twice as many men as women who qualify the reward." is not necessarily true because the selection is random, not proportional to the number of men and women.

This is not an example of a convenience sample because the selection is not based on the ease of access or proximity to the selector, but rather it is a random selection from all qualifying employees.
