Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
In sampling, probability methods use a random mechanism, whereas non-probability methods use non-random criteria. Simple random sampling selects units independently; cluster sampling works with pre-existing groups; systematic sampling uses a fixed interval after a random start.
Application
Apply each definition to the statements:
Simple random sampling uses independent random selection, which corresponds to statement II.
Non-probability sampling may use personal judgment, which corresponds to statement IV.
Cluster sampling divides the population into groups or clusters, which corresponds to statement I.
Systematic sampling uses a random start followed by a fixed interval, which corresponds to statement III.
Sampling method | Defining feature | Statement |
|---|---|---|
Simple random sampling | Independent random selection of units | II |
Non-probability sampling | Selection based on personal judgment | IV |
Cluster sampling | Division of the population into groups | I |
Systematic sampling | Random start followed by fixed-interval selection | III |
Cross-check
The resulting sequence for A, B, C, D is II, IV, I, III. Any alternative sequence assigns at least one defining feature to a different sampling method, so it cannot preserve all four matches.
Therefore, the accepted mapping is A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III.
