Answer 15

In a "Simple Random" sampling all members of the population have an equal probability og selection.

In a "Stratified random" sampling the population is first organized into seperate categories and then each is sampled as an independant subpoulation.

In a "Systematic" sampling the population is ordered and then members are selected at regular intervals though that ordered list.

In a "Convenience" sampling members of the population who are close at hand are selected/

Answer 16

Yes - systematic - it says one type would be picking items from a list at regular intervals

thats it D
