ANSWER
Option 1
Step-by-step explanation
We want to identify the method that best describes a stratified sample of employees.
A stratified sample method, also known as stratified random sampling, involves splitting a population into smaller subgroups known as strata.
In other words, the manager has to form a certain number of groups based on given criteria and then randomly select a certain number of participants from randomly chosen groups in order to conduct the survey.
Therefore, the manager has to form 13 groups of employees based on the departments (given criteria) the employees are in. Then she selects all of the employees in 6 randomly chosen groups.
The correct answer is option 1.
