the departments

iii. List two advantages of the sampling method stated in ii). [2]
iv. Below are the number of individuals in each department

Respuesta :

Each population has a different type of parameter used for sampling.

The parameter is chosen according to the interest of measurement.

The data can be discrete, continuous , etc. and hence it is sampled accordingly.

Part a)

i) Discrete

The number of vaccinated citizens in a country is always discrete because they are only counted in whole numbers , not in decimals or fractions, so they are not continuous.  

ii) qualitative

The faculty that a student registers in is qualitative because if the faculty is not skilful the student cannot learn from them.

The numbers (quantity) does not affect the work done.

iii) ratio

The volume of water a kettle can hold is given in a ratio because an interval can be less than zero and the kettle cannot hold negative volume of water.

Part b)

i) The population is the given question is the total number of employees where Caitlyn works which are 120 in number.

ii) Caitlyn uses stratified random sampling.

The population given above has been divided into a number of non overlapping groups or sub populations called strata.

The population is divided into smaller groups such that they are having very similar measurement of interests.

iii) The advantages of stratified random sampling are low cost , greater accuracy and better coverage.
