Question

You want to gather descriptive statistics to predict results of a general election in which there is evidence that people in different demographic groups (i.e., by gender, political party, and socioeconomic status) will vote differently. How do you sample registered voters? Indicate why it is fitting.
A. Convenience sample
B. Simple random sample
C. Stratified random sample
D. Stratified random sampling with proportionate representation
E. Stratified random sampling with oversampling
F. Cluster sampling

Answer 1

Answer - Option D

Stratified random sampling with proportionate representation.

This type of sampling will fit the purpose because in this, the sample can be broken down into the further subgroups. Each subgroup gets the special recognition in this method and has the power to influence the data. This is needed because the population selected has to be broken down into smaller subgroup on basis of demographic. Also random sampling does not lead to any baisedness. Hence this will be most appropriate method here.
