CONCEPT OF SAMPLING AND OTHER CONCEPTS RELATED TO SAMPLING

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A type of sampling that involves dividing the population into subgroups, but each subgroup should have similar characteristics to the whole sample.
A
simple random sampling
B
systematic sampling
C
stratified sampling
D
cluster sampling
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cluster sampling also involves dividing the population into subgroups, but each subgroup should have similar characteristics to the whole sample. Instead of sampling individuals from each subgroup, you randomly select entire subgroups.

Detailed explanation-2: -In cluster sampling, researchers divide a population into smaller groups known as clusters. They then randomly select among these clusters to form a sample. Cluster sampling is a method of probability sampling that is often used to study large populations, particularly those that are widely geographically dispersed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stratified Sampling is possible when it makes sense to partition the population into groups based on a factor that may influence the variable that is being measured. These groups are then called strata.
