Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option B is an example of a sampling error, not a nonsampling error. A nonsampling error refers to errors in data collection, such as errors in data entry, misinterpretation of questions, or failure to reach the target population, that do not arise from the sampling method itself. Options A, C, and D are examples of inadequate or incorrect sampling frames, which can lead to nonsampling errors. Hence, option E is also incorrect as all other options are examples of nonsampling errors.
