A sample is a subgroup of the population selected for participation in a study. Judgmental sample refers to a non-random sampling technique where the researcher selects participants based on their judgment or expertise. Sampling unit is the individual element of the population that is subjected to sampling. Sampling frame is a list of all the sampling units from which participants are selected. While all these terms are related to sampling, only sample refers to the subgroup of participants selected for the study.
