QUESTION:

Which of the following is an example of stratified sampling?

ANSWER:

 A health educator wanted to study the sleeping habits of the undergraduate students in her university. For her study, the researcher chose a simple random sample of size 150 from each of the classes (150 freshmen, 150 sophomores, 150 juniors, and 150 seniors), for a total of 600 sampled students.


The researcher viewed the students as being divided into four separate strata (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors), and a few students from each stratum were selected.
