the population of a town is divided into three age categories. a random sample of each category is surveyed about voting choices. this type of sampling is called cluster sampling. stratified sampling. simple random sampling. systematic random sampling.

Answer

# Brief Explanations: Stratified sampling divides the population into subgroups (strata) based on certain characteristics (here age - categories) and then samples from each subgroup. Cluster sampling divides the population into clusters and samples some of the clusters. Simple random sampling selects samples randomly from the entire population without dividing it into subgroups. Systematic random sampling selects samples at regular intervals from an ordered list of the population. # Answer: B. stratified sampling
