Question
Create a stratified random sampling strategy to ensure that each topographic zone is tested relative to its proportion of the total survey area. The total number of acres in each topographic zone is presented in the table attached. First, calculate the percent of acreage for each zone. Second, allocate the 20 test units to each topographic zone based on its relative percent to the total survey area. The total number of test units should total 20.
**Topographic Zone Analysis**

This table presents data on different topographic zones surveyed, detailing the number of acres each zone covers, along with an empty column for the percentage of the survey area, and the number of test units.

| Topographic Zone | # of Acres in Each Zone | Percent of Survey Area | # of Test Units |
|------------------|-------------------------|------------------------|----------------|
| Floodplains (black) | 50                      |                        |                |
| Foothills (red)    | 100                     |                        |                |
| Mountains (green)  | 50                      |                        |                |
| **Total**          | **200**                 |                        |                |

- **Floodplains (black)** cover 50 acres.
- **Foothills (red)** cover 100 acres.
- **Mountains (green)** cover 50 acres.
- In total, the surveyed area is 200 acres.

The columns for the percentage of the survey area and the number of test units have not been filled out yet. This data could be integral in understanding the distribution and allocation of resources across the surveyed regions.
