Pool the subsets of the strata together to form a random sample. The manual begins by describing what is sampling and its purposes. Inferences about a population can be made from information obtained in a sample when the sample is representative of the population. When sample is selected by srs technique independently within each stratum, the design is called stratified random sampling. Stratified sampling refers to the sampling designs where the finite population is partitioned into several subpopulations, called strata, and sample draws are. The stratified sampling is a sampling technique wherein the population is subdivided into homogeneous groups, called as strata, from which the samples are selected on a.
