Question

The following output demonstrates ____________sampling technique.

Profitability

(Return on equity)                           Number of Firms             Relative Frequency               Number Sampled

30 percent and over                                 8                                          0.02                                          1

20 up to 30 percent                                  35                                        0.10                                         5            

10 up to 20 percent                                  189                                      0.54                                         27

0 up to 10 percent                                   115                                        0.33                                         16

Deficit                                                            5                                          0.01                                          1

                                                                       352                                       1.00                                          50

A.) Simple random sampling

B.) Cluster sampling

C.) Stratified random sampling

D.) Systematic random sampling

E.) Normal distribution sampling   

Explanation / Answer

Systematic sampling is a type of probability sampling method in which sample members from a larger population are selected according to a random starting point and a fixed periodic interval. This interval, called the sampling interval, is calculated by dividing the population size by the desired sample size.

here it is systematic sampling as it is based on fixed interval on return on equity

option D) is correct
