Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The portion of the universe that has been selected for analysis is called a sample. It is a subset of the population or universe under study, from which observations and data are drawn to make inferences about the larger group. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because a frame refers to a list of all the elements in the population. Option C and D are incorrect because primary and secondary data sources refer to the origin of the data, not the portion of the universe being studied.
