Suppose a presidential candidate wants to compare the preferences of registered voters in the northeastern United States with those in the southeastern United States. Such a comparison would help determine where to concentrate campaign efforts. The candidate hires a professional pollster to randomly choose 1,500 registered voters in the northeast and 2,000 in the southeast and interview each to learn of her or his voting preference.
