| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| general errors caused by the act of taking a sample *didn't ask everyone* | sampling errors |
| never fully matches population, least bad sample b/c we know how big it is | random sampling error |
| list of individuals from which we draw our sample | sampling frame |
| when some groups in population are left out of the process of choosing the sample | undercoverage |
| errors not related to the act of selecting a sample from the population: nonresponse, response errors, or processing errors; can occur even if everyone is asked | non-sampling errors |
| anything that has more than 2 steps; large population where certian groups & subgroups available | multistage sample |
| pick off population into chunks. select one or more chunk & include everyone in the chunk in the sample. | cluster sample |
| take every "nth" item from the sampling frame. LISTING. | systematic sample |
| divide sampling frame into groups called strata. take SRS in each stratum & combine to make up the random sample (2 steps). eliminates some variability. | stratified random sample |
| sample chosen by chance | probability sample |
