I believe you are considering the sampling error as calculated from data. I will give you some examples: If you get the exactly same response from all participants in a survey, you will calculate zero sampling error. For example, if I ask 10 people if Obama Barack is the President of the US, I would probably get 10 "yes" responses. Now the answer was well known, so I would expect very few "no" response. If your measurements are not very sensitive or are recorded with a lack of precision, then there can be zero sampling error. For example, I take the body temperature of students at the college and consider any temperature from 97 to 99 degree F to be normal. I find all students in my sample have normal temperatures. So, zero sampling error can occur because a) sample is small, b) variation in response is either non-existent or very small. In theoretical calculations, where sample error is based on the probability distribution of the population, one can calculate for discrete variables, the probability that a sample error will be zero.

What is the difference between Sampling error vs sampling bias?

Sampling error leads to random error. Sampling bias leads to systematic error.


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.


Difference between standard error and sampling error?

Standard error is random error, represented by a standard deviation. Sampling error is systematic error, represented by a bias in the mean.


Sampling error refers to?

Sampling error occurs when the sampling protocol does not produce a representative sample. It may be that the sampling technique over represented a certain portion of the population, causing sample bias in the final study population.


How can be reduced a sampling error and non sampling error?

ome suggested ways: Larger samples, Better sample design, Better measurement, Better data validation, Better survey/questionnaire design.

Could the value of the sampling error be zero?

What would a sampling error of zero mean?

The sampling error is the error one gets from observing a sample instead of the whole population. The bigger it is, the less faith you should have that your sample represents the true value in the population. If it is zero, your sample is VERY representative of the population and you can trust that your result is true of the population.

What causes a Sampling error?

a sampling error is o ne that occurs when one uses a population istead of a sample


What are the effects of sample size on sampling error?

The sampling error is inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size.


What are the major source of sampling error?

The major source of sampling error is sampling bias. Sampling bias is when the sample or people in the study are selected because they will side with the researcher. It is not random and therefore not an adequate sample.
