Sampling Error
Sampling error occurs when the sample is not a true representative
of the population. In complete enumeration, sampling errors are not
present.
Sampling errors can occur due to some specific reasons:
Faulty selection of the sample.
Sometimes due to the difficulty in selection a particular
sampling unit, researchers try to substitute that sampling unit
with another sampling unit which is easy to be surveyed.
Sometimes researchers demarcate sampling units wrongly and
hence, provide scope for committing sampling errors.
Sampling and Non-sampling Errors
(Contd.)
Non-Sampling Errors
All errors other than sampling can be included in the category of non-
sampling errors.
