Stratified sampling is a sampling method that includes dividing the population into groups where they have the same characteristics, like gender. Then, they will pick samples from all of the groups to represent the population. Since the company grouped the customers depending on how they pay their bills then selected a sample from each group, the sampling method that they used is stratified sampling.
