What is the first step in conducting stratified sampling?
Identify a stratum of items that merit 100% analysis.
Who use stratified sampling?
A statistician, or anyone who wants to ensure that, for a population that can be divided into a set of strata, the sample is forced to contain the same proportion from each stratum.
What is the difference between stratified an random sampling?
In (Simple) random sampling, all of the units in the sample have the same chance of being included in the sample. Units are selected randomly from a population by some random method that gives equal probability to each element. In stratified random sampling, the entire population is divided into heterogeneous sub-popuation known as strata (sub-population with unequal variances) and a random sample is chosen from each of these stratum. The reason when to use which depends on the situation and need of the experimenter.
How is stratified sampling applied?
Stratified sampling is used where the population to be sampled can be divided into subsets, called strata, according to some criterion. Each of these strata are then treated as population and random samples representing the same sampling proportion are taken from each stratum. This ensures that in the overall sample, the number from each stratum is proportional to the size of the stratum in the population. So, for example, if the population consists of 100 boys and 150 girls and you want a sample of 25. The overall sampling proportion is 25/(100+150) = 25/250 = 1/10. So the sampling procedure is to take a simple random sample of 10 boys out of 100 and a simple random sample of 15 girls out of 150. If the whole sample were selected randomly, there is only a 17% probability that it would have been 10 boys and 15 girls. Stratification ensures both genders are represented proportionally in the sample.
When is non probability sampling appropriate?
In some situations stratified random sampling may be more appropriate. You may have a population which can be divided up into a number of subsets (strata) such that the difference between units in different strata is much greater than the difference between units within each stratum. A probability sample may not have enough units from some of the smaller strata. A stratified random sample will ensure that each stratum is represented proportionally. In other situations, cluster sampling may be more appropriate. Suppose you wish to visit a sample 1% of all schools in the country. If you were to choose the schools by probability sampling they would be all over the country and you would require a huge amount of time and money to visit them all. What you could do, instead, is to divide up the country into 1000 regions. Select 10 of these regions (1%) and then visit every school in the selected regions. Far less running around!
Is a stratified sample a probabilty sample?
Within each stratum it is, but overall, it is not.
What type of tissue lines the esophagus and forms the skin epidermis?
Stratified squamous epithelial cells are what form the top two layers of the epidermis: stratum corneum and stratum lucidum. Then stratified cuboidal epithelial cells are found in the bottom three layers of the epidermis: stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. (Stratum basale is only layer that contains nothing but mitotic cells. This layer contains melanocytes as well.) The entire epidermis, however is identified as stratified squamous because epithelial tissue is always identified by the type of epithelial tissue at the apical (top) surface.
Where does keratinization occur?
the addition of keratin to the stratified squamous epithelial cells in the epidermis. Begins in the stratum spinosum and continues into the stratum granulosum.
What is a stratified random sample?
Stratified random sampling is a sampling scheme which is used when the population comprises a number of strata, or subsets, which are similar within the strata but differ from one stratum to another. One example is school children stratified according to classes, or salaries stratified by departments.A simple random sample may not have enough representatives from each stratum and the solution is to use stratified random sampling. Under this scheme, the overall sampling proportion (sample size/population size) is determined and a sample is drawn from each stratum which represents the same proportion.
What is the difference between stratified and random sampling?
In a stratified sample, the sampling proportion is the same for each stratum. In a random sample it should be but, due to randomness, need not be.
What is the first step in conducting stratified sampling?
Identify a stratum of items that merit 100% analysis.
DOES THE STRATUM SAMPLES NEED TO BE EQUAL WHEN TAKING A STRATIFIED SAMPLE?
No. Unless there are other reasons, the proportion of each stratum that is sampled (the sampling fraction) should all be equal.
What is the difference between stratified random sampling and cluster sampling?
Basically in a stratified sampling procedure, the population is first partitioned into disjoint classes (the strata) which together are exhaustive. Thus each population element should be within one and only one stratum. Then a simple random sample is taken from each stratum, the sampling effort may either be a proportional allocation (each simple random sample would contain an amount of variates from a stratum which is proportional to the size of that stratum) or according to optimal allocation, where the target is to have a final sample with the minimum variabilty possible. The main difference between stratified and cluster sampling is that in stratified sampling all the strata need to be sampled. In cluster sampling one proceeds by first selecting a number of clusters at random and then sampling each cluster or conduct a census of each cluster. But usually not all clusters would be included.

What type of tissue makes up the epidermis?
The outer layer of the skin (epidermis) is made up of stratified squamous epithelium. If it helps, remember stratified squamous is made up of multiple layers to provide protection, like when you scrape your knee. because hopefully, there will be other layers underneath! The epidermis is composed of five layers (from the outer most layer to the deepest layer): Stratum corneum Stratum lucidum Stratum granulosum Stratum spinosum Stratum basale Stratified squamous epithelial tissue The type of tissue that makes up the cells on top and bottom of the leaf (epidermis) is dermal tissue. Epithelial tissue makes up the human epidermis.
What is a term for arranged in layers?
in medical terminology, the term for arranged in layers is stratified. A layer of cells is a stratum and layers would be strata.
What cell-to-cell structures hold the cells of the stratum spinosum thghtly togerther?
The cell structure that holds the stratum spinosum tightly together is called desmosome. Desmosomes help to resist shearing forces and are found in simple and stratified epithelium.
