Here is the question

OpenStudy (kropot72):

(a) Stratified sampling is a technique to ensure that a sample is representative of the population, in cases where a simple random sample might give a sample that is different from the population. A stratified sample uses separate random samples of exactly the same size taken from each group of the population.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, I've already worked that one out. What is the answer to part two.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

wouldnt it idealy be the same ratio?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the population ration is 314 out of total number of population ....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

does this make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, \[\frac{ 314 }{ 599 }\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

thats the ratio we would expect yes so if we divide 50 by 599, and multiply it by 314, we get the expected value in a sample size of 50

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[599,\div 599,*314=314\] \[50,\div 599,*314=??\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

26.6 = 27

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep, so ideally we would expect 27 people in the sample size of 50 to be over the age of 60
