In systematic sampling, what is the main risk associated with using a small sampling interval?

  • Reduced representation diversity
  • Increased bias (correct)
  • Introducing randomness
  • Skipping important data points

What is the primary disadvantage of using pure random sampling?

  • Inefficient representation (correct)

Why is random selection not always the primary benefit of using stratified sampling?

  • Exclusion of some subgroups
  • Biased representation (correct)
  • High cost implications
  • Randomization within strata only
