- 3. sample that consists of whole pop.
- 5. sampling scheme that biases sample in a way that gives half the pop. less representation
- 6. number of individuals in a sample
- 7. population is divided into several subpopulations and then sampled
- 9. a study that asks questions to some of the pop. to learn about pop. as whole
