See Answer →In a television appearance, an MLA from a state asks voters in that state to indicate whether the MLA should vote against or for a particular piece of legislation. The MLA office receives 4100 replies. Since voters from western part tends to be democrats while those from eastern parts tend to e communists, the MLA divides the replies on the basis of their geographical origin. 68% of the replies from the western part are against the legislation and 36% of the replies from the eastern part are against it.

(ii) Did the MLA carry out a stratified random sampling?
(iii) How would you justify the sample design?
(iv) What improvements would you suggest?
