In order to ensure an equal representation of undergraduate and graduate students in the sample, Divya should use stratified sampling. This involves dividing the population into subgroups (strata) based on a specific characteristic, in this case degree level, and then selecting a random sample from each stratum. This will ensure that both undergraduate and graduate students are represented equally in the sample.
