Random Stratified Sampling is a fast and easy system to create a sample location plan for a job up to 40 sample locations. It is based on TEST METHOD Q050 of Department of Transport and Main Roads www.tmr.qld.gov.au.
The selection of sampling locations, sampling intervals or test locations is made by dividing the lot or sub-lot into strata of equal size, followed by the random selection of a single location or interval for sampling or testing in each stratum. A different random number is used for each stratum.
