The target population is the complete group of objects or elements that possess the information the research project is designed to collect. It is the group that the researcher wants to study and make inferences about. The sample is a subset of the target population that is studied in order to make inferences about the entire population. The sampling frame is a list or other representation of the target population, from which the sample is chosen. The sampling unit is the individual element or object that is selected for the sample. A census is a study of the entire target population, rather than a sample.
