Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Sampling Method for Question 4
In question 4, you are investigating voters' opinions by selecting 10 registered voters from each of the 12 neighborhoods. This method involves dividing the population into distinct subgroups (neighborhoods) and then randomly sampling from each subgroup.
Step 2: Determine the Type of Sampling
The sampling method used in question 4 is known as stratified random sampling. In stratified sampling, the population is divided into strata (in this case, neighborhoods), and random samples are taken from each stratum.
Final Answer
The answer to question 4 is \(\boxed{\text{Stratified Random Sampling}}\).
