Each of the 29 NBA teams has 12 players. A sample of 58 players is to be chosen as follows. Each team will be asked to place 12 cards with their players' names into a hat and randomly draw out two names. The two names from each team will be combined to make up the sample.

Yes, because each team is equally represented.

Yes, because this is an example of stratified sampling, which is a special case of simple random sampling.

No, because the teams are not chosen randomly.
