Determine whether the following is an example of a sampling error or a non sampling error.

Sampling Error

Non Sampling Error

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sampling error occurs when the sample used by the research is not a representative of the whole population. While a non sampling error occurs during data sampling due to other factors than taking a sample.

Since there were no errors in collecting the data during day sampling, and it is safe to assume that the sample taken was a representative of the population, we can conclude that this is a non sampling error that was due to other factors than taking a sample.
