B.)Systematic Sampling
C.)Cluster Sampling
D.)Convenience Sampling
E.)Stratified Sampling
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! E. This is stratified sampling. It was random, so can't be D, he wasn't selected like every n th person, so not B. Random is not bad, but he was from men a certain age, and that is stratification. Cluster would be all from a specific group, the group itself randomly chosen.
