Explanation / Answer

6. The true statement is:

a. The entire group of individuals or instances about whom we hope to learn is called population.

7. Since we divide the passengers into strata (first class, other) and then randomly sample them, this is an example of

d. Stratified random sampling

8. Since we divide the passengers into clusters and randomly select all passengers from a cluster, this is an example of

a. Cluster sampling

9. Since the 30 people are selected totally at random, this is an example of

b. Simple random sampling

10. Since the position and interval are fixed, this is an example of

c. Systematic sampling
