Question 1104684: Suppose that you have been asked to conduct a survey of 500 MCC students to estimate the
percent of full-time students and percent of part-time students at MCC this semester. Of
course, you want the sample to be representative of the MCC student population. If you had
access to MCC’s student enrollment information, describe two possible sampling methods that
could be used to create a representative sample of 500 students. For each sampling method,
be sure to name the sampling method used and how it would be carried out.
Cluster, Stratified, Convenience, or systematic?
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Convenience would not be a good choice.
Stratified would be, choosing the proportion of people in the survey from the proportion of full time and part time students.
Within the stratified, a systematic sample, such as choosing every fifth student from some list, would work.
Cluster would be used if there were multiple CCs, where one chooses a few CCs and then surveys everyone in it.
