EX. 4.1A Key Concepts of Sampling Target Population: The total specifically defined set of people about whom you want to gather information. Sampling Frame: A subset of the population to be surveyed Sample—those who respond Random: Each member of the target population has an equal chance of being in the sample Use the Maxwell Manual!
