What is Stratified Sampling?
200
In an attempt to study the health effects of air pollution, a group of researchs selected 6 cities in very different environments — some from an urban setting (e.g. greater Boston), some from a heavy industrial setting (e.g. eastern Ohio), some from a rural setting (e.g. Wisconsin). Altogether they selected 8000 subjects from the 6 cities, and followed their health for the next 20 years. At this time their health prognoses were compared with measurements of air pollution in the 6 cities.
Observational

This type of random sampling refers to a sampling method in which the total population is divided into non-overlapping subgroups. Each of the subgroups is called a stratum, and two or more subgroups are called strata.

Example 1. A clinical trial is set up to compare a proposed new drug with a placebo (some inert substance that is given to make people think they are talking a drug when they are not). 50 patients are recruited, and we randomly select 25 of them to receive the new drug, the rest receiving the placebo. After some period of time the two groups are compared to see whether the group receiving the new drug has recovered from the disease under study.
