Question

dividing the population by gender, and choosing 30 people of each gender is an example of what type of sampling?

Answer 1

Dividing the population by gender and then selecting 30 people from each gender is an example of **stratified sampling**. In stratified sampling, the population is divided into distinct subgroups (strata) based on a specific characteristic—in this case, gender. Researchers then randomly select samples from each of these strata to ensure representation from each subgroup in the overall sample.
