Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
(A) Simple random sampling
This matches (IV) Selection of 50 guests randomly from a party. In simple random sampling every member has the same chance of being chosen.
(B) Stratified sampling
This matches (III) Selection of 100 employees ... keeping gender balance in mind. In stratified sampling the population is divided into groups (strata, here by gender) and a sample is taken from each group.
(C) Convenience sampling
This matches (II) Asking colleagues to complete a survey. In convenience sampling the members easiest to reach are chosen.
(D) Snowball sampling
This matches (I) selecting one student who will bring 6 more students. In snowball sampling the first members recruit further members.
So the matching is (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I).
