a city collects data about public transportation. the researcher divides the city into various zones, and randomly chooses 5 households from each zone to survey. which type of sample does this represent?\no a. simple random sample\no b. cluster random sample\no c. stratified random sample\no d. systematic random sample

Answer

# Brief Explanations: In a stratified random sample, the population is divided into subgroups (strata), and then samples are randomly selected from each subgroup. Here, the city is divided into zones (sub - groups) and 5 households are randomly chosen from each zone. In a simple random sample, every individual in the population has an equal chance of being selected without dividing the population first. In a cluster random sample, entire groups (clusters) are randomly selected. In a systematic random sample, individuals are selected at regular intervals from an ordered list. # Answer: C. stratified random sample
