target population - ANSthe population from which information is desired
sampled population - ANSthe collection of elements from which the sample is actually taken
sampling frame - ANSthe list or map showing all the units from the population where sample is
selected
elementary unit - ANSthe member of the population whose measurement on the variable is
examined
sampling unit - ANSthe member which is selected from a sampling frame
sampling - ANSthe selection of a subset of the population of interest
parameter - ANSa summary measure (or computed value) from the population
statistic - ANSa summary measure from the sample
sampling error - ANSthe error associated with the variation among the computed values of
statistics from the different possible samples
nonsampling error - ANSan error apart from sampling errors
more economical, more accurate, wider scope, only feasible way - ANSfour advantages of
sampling
