Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
Sampling methods differ in how selection probabilities are assigned and in whether the population is first partitioned. Probability sampling gives population units a known selection chance, whereas non-probability sampling does not provide a probability-based selection mechanism.
Stratified sampling first divides the population into relatively homogeneous strata. Systematic sampling selects units from an ordered list at a fixed interval.
Application
Stratified sampling matches II because the population is divided into relatively homogeneous sub-populations.
Probability sampling matches III because every population item has a known, non-zero chance of selection under a probability-based procedure.
Systematic sampling matches I because units are selected at a regular interval from a list.
Non-probability sampling matches IV because it does not provide a basis for estimating each unit’s inclusion probability.
Cross-check
The four definitions are used once each and give the one-to-one mapping A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV.
