Match the following:
Involves the division of a

which every group of a given size has an equal
chance of being chosen.
Simple Random Sample (SRS)

division of a population into separate groups based on shared attributes or
characteristics (homogeneous grouping).
A simple random sample is
selected within each group, and the selected units are combined
to form the sample.
Stratified Random Sample
