Describe the key difference between Simple Random Sampling and Stratified Sampling.
Describe the key difference between Simple Random Sampling and Stratified Sampling.
Simple Random Sampling gives every member an equal chance of being selected, while Stratified Sampling ensures representation from specific subgroups by dividing the population into strata and randomly selecting from each stratum.

Study Notes
Probability Sampling Methods
-
Simple Random Sampling: Every individual in the population has an identical chance of selection, often using random number generators or a lottery system.
-
Stratified Sampling: The population is categorized into subgroups (strata) based on shared traits (e.g., age, gender). A random sample is taken from each stratum to ensure representation from all subgroups.
-
Systematic Sampling: Individuals are selected from an ordered list at fixed intervals. For example, selecting every 10th person on a list.
-
Cluster Sampling: The population is divided into groups (clusters). A random sample of clusters is chosen, and all members within those selected clusters are included in the study.
