Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stratified random sampling would ensure representation from each major by dividing the population (students) into strata (majors) and then randomly selecting samples from each stratum. This would ensure a more representative sample compared to random or convenience sampling. Cluster sampling involves selecting a random group of individuals who are close together, which may not necessarily ensure representation from each major.
