How about we put the fractions into decimals?
1/2 is 0.5
2/3 is 0.66666(6)
So we need to find something that is between them.
the denominator can't be 2, because bigger than 1/2 is 2/2, which is 1 and is bigger than 0.6
it also can't be 3, because smaller than 2/3 is 1/2, which is 0.333... and is smaller than 0.5.
Can it be 4? we can't have 2/4 (it's the same as 1/2), or 3/4, it's 0.75, and it's bigger than 0.666...
how about 5?
2/5=0.4,no, too small
3/5=0.6- perfect! that's the answer!
The construction of Old Fort Jackson was ordered by Thomas Jefferson, the US president at the time, as a part of a defense system he has planned for the new country. It's location on the river was crucial and its purpose was to ensure that no enemy forces would travel to the inland through the river. At the time an attach from Great Britain or France seemed likely and it was with those two powers in mind that th Fort was built.
<u>Answer:
</u>
The type of sampling used in the example is 'stratified sampling'.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
- The term 'stratified' used to name the method of sampling is referred to as 'fixed' or definite.
- If we keenly process the data that is given in the example, we can find that the number of students chosen for the study from each category makes up 10 percent of the entire category.
- As the researcher has chosen to carry out the study with a definite 10 percent of students from each category, the sampling method can be concluded to be 'stratified sampling'.
