Match each example to the correct sampling technique. Using a complete list of NSU student's N numbers, an advisor selects 20 N numbers randomly. The individuals selected are then asked about NSU's COVID-19 policies. Voters are broken into groups of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. For a sample of 1000 the appropriate number of likely voters from each group are surveyed. A farmer is interested in the yield of a new corn seed. The farmer randomly selects 5 rows, then samples every corn plant in those 5 rows. Using a phone book, Randy randomly selects a starting point then surveys every 1023rd person in the book to obtain a sample. Jon asks every 5th person entering the mall who they are going to vote for to obtain a sample of 30 voters. A. Systematic random sample B. Cluster sample C. Convenience sample D.

Name the sampling method that best describes each situation. Choose your answer from the following (A) simple random sampling, (B) convenience sampling, (C) quota sampling, (D) stratified sampling, (E) census. (a) George wants to know how the rest of the class did on the last quiz. He peeks at the scores of a few students sitting right next to him. Based on what he sees, he concludes that nobody did very well. (b) Eureka High School has 400 freshmen, 300 sophomores, 300 juniors, and 200 seniors. The student newspaper conducts a poll asking students if the football coach should be fired. The student newspaper selects 20 freshmen, 15 sophomores, 15 juniors, and 10 seniors for the poll. (c) For the last football game of the season, the coach chooses the three captains by putting the names of all the players in a hat and drawing three names. (Maybe that's why they are trying to fire him!) (d) For the last football game of the season, the coach chooses the three captains by putting the names of all the seniors in a hat and drawing three names.
