C., & Phillips, R. L. (2005)). A sample is also more precise because you have to deal with a smaller number which produces less error compared to the population. Collecting data from the entire business fraternity may prove to be more costly than collecting from a portion of them.b.Based on the case you picked, choose one sampling method to gather data from the four methods listed below. Explain the rationale behind your selected method.I would select stratified random sampling since it represents the whole population of interest. It minimizes bias in sample selection and ensures that each and every individual of the fraternity is given an equal chance (Brus, D. J., & De Gruijter, J. J. (1997)).
