O Sampling of Convenience
O Systematic Sampling

Respuesta :

The sampling method used in this problem is classified as:

Simple Random Sampling

How are samples classified?

Samples may be classified as:

  • Convenient: Drawn from a conveniently available pool.
  • Random: All the options into a hat and drawn some of them.
  • Systematic: Every kth element is taken.
  • Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.
  • Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. Then, a equal proportion of each group is surveyed.

In this problem, all the options are assigned a number and then taken, hence a Simple Random Sample is used.
