Name the sampling technique for this:
Imagine a class of 25 students. To select a simple random sample of 5 students, you could write each student's name on a piece of paper, put all the papers in a hat, and randomly draw 5 names.
Stratified sampling
Simple random sampling
Cluster sampling
Systematic sampling
Name the sampling technique for this:
A researcher wants to survey households in a large city about their recycling habits. The city could be divided into neighborhoods (clusters). The researcher would then randomly select a few neighborhoods and survey all households within those selected neighborhoods.
Stratified sampling
Systematic sampling
Simple random sampling
Cluster sampling
Name the sampling technique for this:
