Abstract
It is shown that for any finite population of size N and any sample si ze n greater than or equal to 3, we can have a survey plan of size n t hat assigns a probability of zero to an undesirable sample of size n a nd yet the plan is equivalent to a simple random sample plan of size n without replacement.
