Question

Surveying Indiana high school students about virtual learning or e-learning by sampling all of the students from only some of the online schools in Indiana would be a type of sampling known as cluster sampling.

True
False

Answer 1

Answer: True

Each high school in Indiana is considered a cluster. Let's say there are 1000 high schools in that state. That would mean there are 1000 clusters.

You would then randomly select say 5 clusters. Once those selections are made, you would then survey every student at those five schools selected. The number of clusters selected will depend on the situation of course.
