Harold has decided to conduct a survey to find out how many students like seafood. Using stratified random sampling; tell Harold how to pick out 30 subjects for the survey.

First, divide students in the school into groups of what they eat for lunch. Then we use a random number table to take a relative amount of people (relative to the size of each group), making sure that we will end up with 30 subjects in the end.

First, make a list of students in the school, and number each possible subject. Next, using a random number table, pick out in order any number between 1 and the number of students in the school. Continue picking out numbers until you have 30 subjects. Ignore any numbers that are out of range in the table.

First, make a list of students in the school. Next, we'll divide the number of students in the school by 30 to figure out how far to space out our choices. Next, use a random number table to pick our first subject. From that subject, count out the same amount each time (the number of students in the school divided by 30) until we have 30 subjects.

First, divide students in the school into groups based upon Lunchtime. Then we randomly pick a few groups of Lunchtime to choose our sample from. Randomly (using a random number table), we pick out the same amount from each Lunchtime so that we end up with a sample of 30 subjects.

What is stratified random sample?

The population is divided into groups, and subjects are chosen randomly from each group

The population is divided into groups, and only a few groups are used to select the subjects

Each sample of the size we want is equally likely

The population is listed out then divided up using a rule (where only the 1st person is chosen randomly)

First, make a list of students in the school. Next, we'll divide the number of students in the school by 20 to figure out how far to space out our choices. Next, use a random number table to pick our first subject. From that subject, count out the same amount each time (the number of students in the school divided by 20) until we have 20 subjects.

First, divide students in the school into groups of their clicks (preppy, hip, etc). Then we use a random number table to take a relative amount of people (relative to the size of each group), making sure that we will end up with 20 subjects in the end.
