Brooke Dennis · Answer 1

d) Stratified and a) Random

Explanation:

In an stratified sampling, people is divided into groups by a characteristic. In the question, the company takes the customer database. This means that all the people in this database have the common characteristic: customer.

Having the strata group, in this case the customer database, the company then selects a random sample of this database by selecting randomly 70 customers. A random sample means that each person in the customer database has the same probability of being chosen for the survey, no matter the amount of customers in the database.
