    Random Sampling recommendation

    This task was a copy "paste" from one of the past exams, so I choosed the stratified sampling because it will categorise the production to the employees, then we will take the samples.

    It's stratified, almost an identical question is in my text book as a Mock Exam.

    thats what i said random sampling is cheap and simple to operate. systematic sampling is nth item after 1st random selection so even this could be possible but with stratified sampling i didnt know what sort of stratas one could ve come out with in regards to one single product.

    Question in FTC textbook gives the following:-<BR><BR>Faulty Production is caused by poor work practices by some of the production workers, although this is not known for certain.<BR><BR>The 70 Production workers work independently of one another.<BR><BR>Is this different to the question today? I can't remember it exactly so I'm not sure.<BR><BR>Surely the idea is that with random sampling you could end up with samples all from one worker, unlikely but possible and this won't help establish the poor workers. The only way of doing that is to select a sample from each worker.
