Stratified random sampling divides a population into subgroups and then randomly samples from each subgroup. It provides a more precise and representative sample than simple random sampling when the population is diverse. However, it requires a complete list of the population and their characteristics, and is not suitable for small populations that cannot be divided into subgroups.

STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLING ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Advantages of Stratified Random Sampling
- Stratified random sampling is suitable when the population is heterogeneous. - Sample represents the diverse characteristics of the population - It is more precise than simple random sampling Disadvantages of Stratified Random Sampling - It is not suitable when the population is small, as we cannot subdivide the population into different groups. - This sampling technique is only useful when the research has a complete list of populations along with their characteristics.
