How are samples classified?

Samples may be classified as:

  • Convenient: Drawn from a conveniently available pool.
  • Random: All the options into a hat and drawn some of them.
  • Systematic: Every kth element is taken.
  • Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.
  • Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. Then, a equal proportion of each group is surveyed.

In this problem, we want a systematic sample, that is, every kth person(not group), hence the correct option is:

Members of a population are listed in order of birthday, and every 5th person is selected until a sample of 100 people is formed.
