Solution

The sampling method used in this scenario is Stratified random sampling.

Here's why:

  1. The total population (100 students) is divided into distinct groups or 'strata' (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors).

  2. From each of these strata, a random sample is taken (25 from each group).

  3. These samples are then combined to form a single sample that represents the entire population.

This method ensures that each group within the population is adequately represented within the sample.
