Problem 12BSC
identify which of these types of sampling is used: random, systematic, convenience, stratified, or cluster.
Ecology When collecting data from different sample locations in a lake, a researcher uses the “line transect method” by stretching a rope across the lake and collecting samples at every interval of 5 meters.
Answer :
Step 1 of 1:
Given ecology when collecting data from different sample locations in a lake, a researcher uses the “line transect method” by stretching a rope across the lake and collecting samples at every interval of 5 meters.
This is a systematic sample because a starting point was selected (start of the rope) and then samples were collected in intervals (every 5 meters).
