Random selection is the term that refers to a controlled procedure that assures that each population element is given a known nonzero chance of selection into the sample. Nonprobability sampling refers to sampling methods where the selection of participants is not based on chance. Systematic selection involves selecting every kth element in the population after a random start. Judgment sampling involves selecting participants based on the judgment or expertise of the researcher. There is no such term as "statistical selection."
