At a community college with five hundred students, 150 are English majors and 350 are math majors. If a simple random sample of fifty students was selected to represent the various majors proportionately and twenty English majors were chosen, how does this compare to how many English majors would have been chosen if the sample was created using stratified proportionate sampling?

A.) There should be fewer English majors in the stratified proportionate sample.

B.) There should be more English majors in the stratified proportionate sample.

C.) There will be the same number of English majors in the stratified proportionate sample.

D.) There is no way to tell how many English majors will be in the stratified proportionate sample.
