زمینه فرهنگی
In Germany, social sciences and market research are highly developed industries. The concept of a 'Quotenstichprobe' is central to the 'Sonntagsfrage' (Sunday Question), which is a weekly political poll that has been a cultural staple for decades. Germans value the representative nature of these samples to ensure every demographic voice is heard in the data.
The Grammar Trap
Remember that 'an der' requires a feminine noun. If you want to use a masculine noun like 'Durchschnitt', you must change it to 'an dem' or 'am'.
Not for Randomness
Don't use this for random samples (Zufallsstichproben). This phrase is specifically for 'quota' samples where you hand-pick groups to match percentages.

What It Means
Imagine you are baking a tiny cake that must taste exactly like a giant one. You need the exact same ratio of flour, sugar, and eggs. That is what a Quotenstichprobe does for researchers. It is a way to pick a group of people that acts as a mini-mirror of society. If 52% of the country is female, 52% of your sample must be female. You are basically building a small-scale model of a big population. It is not about luck or random draws. It is about following a strict recipe to ensure your data is fair and accurate.
How To Use It
You will mostly use this in academic writing or professional reports. It is a very structured way to start a sentence. Because it ends with der, you must follow it with a feminine noun in the dative case. Words like Struktur (structure), Verteilung (distribution), or Zusammensetzung (composition) are your best friends here. It sounds very professional and precise. Using it shows you understand the logic behind your data. It is like telling your audience, "I did my homework and this group is not just random."
When To Use It
Use this phrase when you are presenting a thesis or a market research project. It works perfectly in a business meeting when someone asks how you chose your participants. It is also great for debating political polls. If you want to sound like an expert on the news, this is your phrase. It adds a layer of scientific authority to your speech. It says you care about the "Methodik" (methodology) of your work.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this while ordering a pizza or talking to your dog. Your friends will think you have spent way too much time in the university library. It is not for casual storytelling or emotional heart-to-hearts. Avoid it during a first date unless you are both data scientists. It is far too cold and technical for personal moments. If you use it to describe your group of friends, people will think you are being weirdly clinical.
Cultural Background
Germans have a deep respect for "Empirie" or empirical evidence. Precision is not just a stereotype; it is an academic requirement in Germany. In German universities, the methodology section of a paper is often considered the most important part. If your sampling is wrong, your whole argument is seen as invalid. This phrase reflects that cultural need for structural accuracy and "Ordnung" (order). It is also a staple in the "Sonntagsfrage," the famous weekly poll asking Germans who they would vote for.
Common Variations
You might hear people say basiert auf der (is based on) or entspricht der (corresponds to). Some might use richtet sich nach der (follows the). However, orientiert sich an is the most elegant and common version in high-level German. It implies a conscious, active alignment with the data. It sounds more intentional than just "following" a rule.
نکات کاربردی
This is a high-register academic phrase. Always ensure the noun following 'der' is feminine and in the dative case. It is most frequently found in the introduction or methodology section of reports.
