Name the sampling method used in each of the following situations:

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Convenient

b) Cluster

c) Stratified

d) Systematic

e) Random

Step-by-step explanation:

Samples may be classified as:

Convenient: Sample drawn from a conveniently available pool.

Random: Basically, put all the options into a hat and drawn some of them.

Systematic: Every kth element is taken. For example, you want to survey something on the street, you interview every 5th person, for example.

Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.

Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. However, then only some elements of the group are surveyed.

Situation a:

Asks all from a single group(sitting passengers), that is, convenint sample.

Situation b:

First she separates the students by row, then from each row, she chooses all students. So this is Cluster sampling.

Situation c:

The manager separates the stores by location, and then in each location, random customers are chosen. This is an example of Stratified sampling.

Situation d:

Marks for every fourth patron, that is, every 4th element. So Systematic sampling.

Situation e:

People chosen at random, so Random sampling.
