Solution

The example of stratified sampling in the given options is "Proponents of a local ballot measure conduct a survey of the city by randomly selecting 100 potential voters from each of its 18 zip codes."

Stratified sampling is a method of sampling that involves the division of a population into smaller groups known as strata. In stratified sampling, the strata are formed based on members' shared attributes or characteristics.

In this case, the city is divided into different strata (zip codes), and a random sample is taken from each stratum (100 potential voters from each zip code). This ensures that each zip code in the city is represented in the survey, making it a stratified sample.
