No, they are two different things.
Random sampling is a type of probability sampling in which the researcher randomly selects a subset of participants from a population. Each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected.
Random assignment is a way of placing participants into treatment and control groups using randomization. With random assignment, every member has a known or equal chance of being placed in a control or treatment group. Random assignment helps you ensure that all groups are comparable at the beginning: any differences between them are due to the treatment rather than sampling or selection bias.

Could you perhaps assist me in getting some information about the community service orders (CSO) program verified? According to what I’ve heard, a court may issue a CSO order requiring a person who has reached the age of 14 or older and has been found guilty of a crime carrying a sentence of imprisonment to perform unpaid work for a number of hours up to 240 hours per month while being supervised by a probation officer. Can I refer to those as CSO scheme activities?

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
