Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sampling error can be caused by the method of sample selection as well as the size of the sample. Therefore, option A and B are incorrect as they only identify one of the causes. Option D and E are also incorrect as miscounting and clerical errors are not necessarily related to sampling error. Option C is the best choice as it correctly identifies both causes of sampling errors.
