Question

How stratified sampling is different from cluster sampling. Justify your answer with suitable examples.

Answer 1

Cluster sampling involves the process of conducting natural grouping of the population to separate the population into distinct sections; for example, grouping population into districts or counties is described as cluster sampling, whereas stratified sampling is more specific and involves dividing and systematic dividing of the target population of study into groups regarded as strata. For example, identifying a specific district and dividing its population into small specific groups.
