Stratified sampling

You are a part of an agency that sent out a youth survey to a nationally representative sample of youths, ages 14 to 20 years old. The uploaded dataset, youth_survey, tracks the Age, Height (in inches), Weight (in pounds), Gender, and the self-reported How would you describe your weight? multiple choice answers for the individuals.

In this exercise, you will create a stratified, weighted sample of 1% of respondents from the dataset. pandas has been imported as pd.

The dataset contains information on all respondents' genders, so you will be using the Gender column as the stratifying column.
