AA comprehensive coverage of the stages involved in designing a survey
BA summary view of all the main clusters of units in a sample
CA list of all the units in the population from which a sample will be selected ✓ Correct
DA table used to display random numbers
Correct answer: (C) A list of all the units in the population from which a sample will be selected — A sampling frame is a list of all the units in the population from which a sample will be selected, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★A sampling frame is a list of all the units in the population from which a sample will be selected, so that is the answer.
★The sampling frame is the working list of every unit that could be sampled.
★So the sample is actually drawn from this list of population units.
★It is not a coverage of the stages of designing a survey, which is the survey plan.
★It is not a summary of clusters, which is only one way units may be grouped.
★It is not a table of random numbers, so the sampling frame is the list of all units in the population.
