Proportionate stratified sampling and cluster sampling are both examples of __________________.
A) probability sampling
B) simple random sampling
C) non-probability sampling
D) convenience sampling

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proportionate stratified sampling and cluster sampling both fall under probability sampling methods, which involve randomly selecting samples from a defined population with a known probability of inclusion. Simple random sampling and convenience sampling are also sampling methods, but they are not specific examples of the two options given in the question prompt. Non-probability sampling methods involve selecting samples in a non-random manner and may not be representative of the population as a whole.
