The selection of every nth number on the list is known as the sampling interval. This interval is determined by dividing the number of units in the population by the desired sample size. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Sampling confidence refers to how confident we are that the results of our sample accurately reflect the population. The sampling frame refers to the list of individuals or elements from which the sample is selected. The sampling unit is the individual or element that is selected from the population to be included in the sample.
