The best description of the type of sample selected in the question is;

Option D; Stratified Random Sample

We are told that for the demographic study, the college administrator randomly selected 5% of the students with the particular major randomly.

Since they were chosen randomly, it is clear that this is a type of random sampling that was not done with a convenient sample. Thus, Options A and B are already out of it leaving us with C, D or E

Let us look at the options;

  • Option C; This sample cannot be a simple random sample because since only 5% are selected from each major, all the students don't have equal chance of being chosen.

  • Option D; This sample is a stratified random sample because the population has been divided into smaller groups by their majors.

  • Option E; This cannot be a systematic random sample because there is no fixed period or interval of selection done.
