The administration of a large university is interested in learning about the types of wellness programs that would interest its employees. To do this, they plan to survey a random sample of employees. Under consideration are several plans for selecting the sample. Which of the following sampling strategies is the stratified sampling?

a. There are five categories of employees (administration faculty, professional staff, clerical and maintenance). Randomly select ten individuals from each category.

b. Fach employee has an ID number. Randomly select 50 numbers.

c. Randomly select a school within the university (eg, Business School) and survey all of the individuals (administration, faculty, professional staff, clerical and maintenance) who work in that school.

d. The HR Department has an alphabetized list of newly hired employees (hired within the last five years). After starting the process by randomly selecting an employee from the list, then every 5th name is chosen to be included in the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stratified sampling is a sampling strategy from a population that involves sampling by dividing or partitioning the population into smaller subgroups.

So the correct answer is "There are five categories of employees (administration faculty, professional staff, clerical and maintenance). Randomly select ten individuals from each category." because it involves dividing the population into subgroups.
