Use stratified random sampling if the sample to be drawn consists of 500 students.
Strata Number of Percent Proportional Equal
Students Allocation Allocation
First Year 1600 1600/5500 0.2909(500) 500/4
=29.09% = 145.45 = 125
Second Year 1500 1500/5500 0.2727(500) 125
= 27.27% = 136.35
Third Year 1400 1400/5500 0.2546(500) 125
= 25.46% = 127.3
Fourth Year 1000 1000/5500 0.1818(500) 125
= 18.18% = 90.9
