7 Qn Suggested Solution 5(i) Each level/strata is not proportionally represented and hence not stratified sampling. (ii) Divide the students of the school into strata in terms of age or gender. Select the number of students in each stratum e.g. 20 male and 20 female students for the survey in order to meet the quota. Then stand at the entrance of the school at the start of a school day to survey the first 20 male and first 20 female students that enter the school. One disadvantage of quota sampling is that the sample obtained is likely to be biased as students who come to school later will not have a chance to be considered (or selected).

OR The probability 0.0213 suggests that for every 100 customers, more than 2 spend less than zero minutes at the salon. Since time is a non -negative quantity, the normal distribution with the given mean and standard deviation is not an appropriate model. x | 32 µ 67
