Brittany wants to ensure that an equal number of men and women are included in the sample despite there being a majority of female students at Metro University. This suggests that she will use disproportionate stratified sampling, where the sample size is not proportional to the size of the strata (male and female students). This will provide her with a sample that is representative of both genders, despite the imbalance in the population.
