question
in reference to different sampling methods, is the following statement true or false?
cluster sampling includes the steps: divide the population into groups; use simple random sampling to identify a proportionate number of individuals from each group.
select the correct answer below:
○ true
○ false

Cluster sampling divides the population into clusters (groups), then randomly selects entire clusters. The described steps (sampling proportionate individuals from each group) match stratified sampling, not cluster sampling. So the statement is false.

Answer:

False
