Clues

  • A census is when information is obtained from all members of the population. (4, 2, 1, 6)
  • A population is a collection of individual people or items. A population may be of finite size if you can count how many of them there are, or of infinite size if it is impossible to know exactly how many members there are in the population. (4, 2, 1, 10)
  • A sample is a selection of individual members or items from the population. (4, 2, 1, 6)
  • A sampling frame is a list of sampling units used to represent a population. (4, 2, 1, 8, 5)
  • A sampling unit is an individual member of a population. (4, 2, 1, 8, 4)
  • An investigation using a sample is called a sample survey. (4, 2, 1, 6, 6)
  • Every single member of the population is used. The investigation is unbiased. You obtain an accurate answer in the end. (10, 2, 1, 6)
