Stratified sampling involves dividing the population into subgroups (strata) that share similar characteristics. Members within the same stratum are more homogeneous, or similar, which means their responses are likely to be more consistent with each other compared to the overall population. This homogeneity within strata leads to lower variability in the results when compared to simple random sampling across the entire population.
