Short Answer

Expert verified

Cluster sampling

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Three randomly selected classes were surveyed for their driving habits. All students are surveyed for responses from each of the classes.

02

Identify the method of sampling

Cluster sampling collects data in the following steps.

  • It divides the population into different clusters (groups of the same nature).
  • Then selects a certain number of clusters randomly.
  • Finally, it selects all the elements from the selected groups for responses.

In the study, the population comprises all students divided into classes (clusters). Classes are randomly selected, and further, all the students are surveyed from each of the selected classes.

Thus, the sampling method is cluster sampling.
