When the universe is heterogenous and too large, the best sampling method which can be adopted is

  • A.Random Sampling
  • B.Stratified Sampling
  • C.Multi-stage Sampling
  • D.None of the above

Answer: B

When the universe is heterogeneous and too large, the key gives stratified sampling as the best method. The population is divided into strata of similar units and a sample is drawn from each, so every part of a heterogeneous universe is represented.

Simple random sampling gives no safeguard for heterogeneity and is hard to carry out on a very large universe. Multi-stage sampling suits a very large universe, but it is the stratified method that the key accepts, so the second option is correct.
