Stratified Sampling

 

Students learn how to work out a stratified sample.

As learning progresses, students consider how to randomise samples.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to determine the population proportion in each stratum.
  • Most students should be able to calculate the number of people to be sampled in a stratum.
  • Some students should be able to calculate the total stratified sample size given the number of people sampled in a stratum.
