A sample is a subset of a population that is selected for research or analysis. It represents a smaller group that is studied to make inferences about the larger population. A sampling frame, on the other hand, is a list of all the elements in the population from which the sample is drawn. It serves as the source from which the sample is selected and should ideally include all members of the population.

A sample is a smaller group selected from a larger population. It may be to costly and time consuming to carry out the study on the whole population so the researchers choose a sample and often generalise results.

A sample frame is the list of people from which a sample for the study are selected. It is only carried out on the target population that the researcher is interested in studying. For example finding data on just school children would not involve the the whole population only children in schools.

Set of units under study is populaltion and the subset of these units which is considered to be the representative of all units is the sample.

What is the difference between sampling frame and sampling uinit?

Samplig frame is the source material from which the sample is drawn. If you have a 'list' of names of all inviduals from which you could draw a sample, the list is a sampling frame. A samplig unit is the sample being chosen.


What is the difference between Sampling error and non sampling error?

In stats, a sampling error is simply one that comes from looking at a sample of the population in question and not the entire population. That is where the name comes from. But there are other kinds of stats errors. In contrast, non sampling error refers to ANY other kind of error that does NOT come from looking at the sample instead of the population. One example you may want to know about of a non sampling error is a systematic error. OR Sampling Error: There may be inaccuracy in the information collected during the sample survey, this inaccuracy may be termed as Sampling error. Sampling error = Frame error + Chance error + Response error.


What sampling method does not require a frame?

Systematic sampling doesn't require a frame. This method takes in every data from a sample, rather than restricting it by any particular means.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of mixed sampling?

avantages and disadvantages of mixed sampling are explained by example given below : if we want to take sample of trees in the forest of India for this we will selected the forests by the simple random sampling and after this we will selected the trees by the systematic sampling we can not used simple random sampling here due to not availability of frame of trees.So this is adavantages of mixed sampling. Now if we want to check the relability of whole procedure then we will not check it .So this is disadavantages of mixed sampling.


Why is a frame necessary to obtain a simple random sample?

because it is the list that is used for assigning numbers to individual in the population.
