It is given that to judge the appeal of a proposed television sitcom, a random sample of 10 people from each of three different age categories was selected.
Stratified random sampling is a technique that a population is divided into heterogeneous data within a stratum (one stratum sample is different from another stratum) while the data lies in a stratum that is homogenous.
Here, the 3 different age categories are like different stratum and homogenous within themselves as per the age. Thus, it is a stratified random sampling situation.
