PLZ HELP... The owner of a large company is conducting a survey about job satisfaction, including questions about salary, hours, stress, and other conditions. There are about 800 employees in the company, including 100 executive positions, 650 middle-management positions, and 50 custodial positions. The owner wants to include about ten percent of his employees in the survey sample. Identify a sampling method that would lead to a representative sample for the survey. Explain why it would be a good choice and give details about the process.

If they want a sample that truly represents ALL the employees in the company despite the position that they hold, then the best sampling method is taking a Random Sample. This would lead to a non-bias sample in which would gather data that is representative of the whole company. A possible process could be allocating a number to each employee and then selecting 80 Random numbers using a random number generator.
