ir qualityair quality, MirandaMiranda divides up her day into three parts: morning, afternoon, and evening. She then measures her air qualityair quality at 33 randomly selected times during each part of the day. What type of sampling is used?
The sampling method used is a stratified sampling method
Step-by-step explanation:
sampling is the selection of a predetermined representative subpopulation from a larger population, to estimate the characteristics of the whole population.
Stratified sampling: Here, the total population are divided into subcategories (strata) before sampling is done. The strata are formed based on some common characteristics. In our example, the times of the day (morning, afternoon and evening) has widely varying atmospheric conditions which will add biases to the measurement of air quality. For example, the air in the morning if compared to the afternoon in an industrial area may be purer because of minimal industrial activity, hence effective comparison will be made by stratification.
