Which Method? The mathematics department at a university wishes to administer a survey to a sample of students taking college algebra. The department is offering 32 sections of college algebra, similar in class size and makeup, with a total of 1280 students. They would like the sample size to be roughly $10 \%$ of the population of college algebra students this semester. How might the department obtain a simple random sample? A stratified sample? A cluster sample? Which method do you think is best in this situation?
