Question

I propose to study the relationship between self-esteem and reading skill levels among students at Clairmont High School. At Clairmont, about 14 percent of the student body are seniors, 24 percent are juniors, 30 percent are sophomores, and 32 percent are freshmen. What kind of sampling approach will I be most likely to use? A. Random sampling B. Comparative sampling C. Stratified sampling D. Controlled sampling

Answer 1

The correct option is C. Stratified sampling

Took the pf test and got 100%

Answer 2

Best answer is C) Stratified Sampling

Stratified Sampling includes selecting intentionally from specific groups for your sample (in this case by grade level). Once you have the four individual grade-level populations, you would typically randomly select from within those groups. Stratified sampling helps to ensure that every population group is properly represented by the sample.
