Your sociology teacher is interested in the relationship between students' part-time working hours and their academic confidence.
She asks you to design a study to investigate whether there is a correlation between hours spent in part-time employment per week and academic self-efficacy scores (on a scale of 10 to 50) in A-level sociology students across the college.
You need to select a sample of 24 participants using either random or stratified sampling.
Explain how a sample of 24 participants could be selected for your study using either random or stratified sampling.
Outline one strength of the sampling method you have selected.
