Stratified Sampling

Methodology & design

Definition

Probability sampling that divides the population into strata (e.g. grade, sector, region) and samples randomly within each — guaranteeing subgroup representation and usually improving precision.

Where it's used

  • Employee surveys sampled proportionally across levels
  • Multi-region studies requiring representative state-wise coverage
