Answer
A

B
Stratified random sampling requires knowledge of the entire population.
C
Stratified random sampling can be used even when there is not a list of the population.
D
Stratified random sampling provides more precise estimates than simple random sampling.

Explanation

Stratified random sampling divides the population into relevant groups, or strata, and samples from each group. This can ensure that important subgroups are represented, reducing sampling variability and giving more precise estimates than a simple random sample. The correct choice is “Stratified random sampling provides more precise estimates than simple random sampling.”
