An аpаrtment building hаs nine flооrs and each flоor has four apartments. The building owner wants to install new carpeting in eight apartments to see how well it wears before she decides whether to replace the carpet in the entire building. The figure below shows the floors of apartments in the building with their apartment numbers. Only the nine apartments indicated with an asterisk () have children in the apartment. The grid spans nine floors, from 1st to 9th. Each floor has four apartments, labeled numerically. Apartments with an asterisk indicate children live there. A legend on the right side states, " * = Children in the apartment." For each floor, the apartments with children are: 1st Floor (11), 2nd Floor (22, 23), 5th Floor (51), 7th Floor (73, 74), 8th Floor (84), and 9th Floor (92, 93). For convenience, the apartment building owner wants to use a cluster sampling method, in which the floors are clusters, to select the eight apartments. Describe a process for randomly selecting eight different apartments using this method. An alternative sampling method would be to select a stratified random sample of eight apartments, where the strata are apartments with children and apartments with no children. A stratified random sample of size eight might include two randomly selected apartments with children and six randomly selected apartments with no children. In the context of this situation, give one statistical advantage of selecting such a stratified sample as opposed to a cluster sample of eight apartments using the floors as clusters.
