(A) Use satisfied random sampling
(B) Use simple random sampling
(c) Use convenience sampling
(D) Use cluster sampling
(E) Use systematic random sampling

Answer 1

(A) Use stratified random sampling

Explanation:

Since, the population include all the citizens of that country so it is quite large data and working on this population is quite time taken and costly. Thus, Sample must be taken and it must be taken by appropriate sampling method.

Here Stratified Sampling is used because by this sampling method peoples of every state, every cities, every village can be taken without much expense and in less time.

Further,

If the samples from the population are chosen randomly, where each and every unit has an equal chance of selection in a sample. This type of sampling is called Simple Random Sampling.

If the observers collect the sample as his\her convenience, then this type of sampling method is called Convenience Sampling.

In Cluster Sampling the population is distributed into a distinct group (clusters) and one or more groups (clusters) are chosen as a sample.

In Systematic Sampling the selection of sample is taken by some criteria . Like he\she is taken every 7th unit as a sample from the population.

Answer 2
