<prompt> Design Effect is associated with which of the following sampling techniques -Stratified samplingSystemic samplingCluster samplingSimple Random Sampling  <response>: Ans. is c i.e., Cluster sampling o The Design Effect difp refers to the difference in precision of the estimates produced by a complex design like a cluster sample relative to a simple random sample SRS. o The Design Effect diff is the ratio of the variance of a statistic calculated from a cluster sample or any complex sample to that of the same statistic calculated from a simple random sample of the same size. o Design effect may be seen in all complex designs including stratified samples, but is most prominent with cluster samples
