Which of the following is FALSE with regard to stratified sampling?
 a. A stratified random sample is drawn by dividing the parent population into mutually exclusive and exhaustive subsets and by then taking a random sample of these subsets.

  c. When sampling from a population that is highly skewed, a stratified sample generally provides the most representative sample.
  d. A market researcher needs information about parts of the population, as well as the total population. He should therefore plan on using a stratified random sample.
