All of these factors are important in designing a sample. The sampling frame refers to the population from which the sample will be drawn, the type of sampling plan will determine how samples are selected from the frame (e.g. random sampling, stratified sampling), and the size of the sample will affect the precision and generalizability of the results. Therefore, all three factors must be considered in the design of a sample.
