Under what circumstances is a proportionate stratified random sample the most appropriate sampling method?

What will be an ideal response?


A proportionate stratified random sample is appropriate when researchers are interested in the entire population. This type of sampling ensures that the composition of the sample will provide an accurate representation of the composition of the population. Note, a proportionate stratified random sample is a probability sample, so the entire population must be known.
