Q 1.57. - Elementary Statistics

Question

Ideally, in stratified sampling, the members of each stratum should be                relative to the characteristic under consideration.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Ideally, in stratified sampling, the members of each stratum should be homogenous to the characteristic under consideration.

Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

Ideally, in stratified sampling, the members of each stratum should be                relative to the characteristic under consideration.

Step 2. Fill in the given blank.

The population is divided into strata in stratified sampling and after that sampling is carried out for each stratum. T

hat is to say, subjects are chosen at random from each stratum. As a result, all of the chosen subjects form a sample. 

Furthermore, each stratum's members are homogeneous in terms of the attribute under consideration.

In stratified sampling, the individuals of each stratum should ideally be homogeneous in terms of the trait being studied.
