Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The list of all individuals who took the GMAT during the past year is the sampling frame, which is the list of all units in the population from which the sample is selected. Therefore, C is the correct answer. The precision level (A) and standard deviation (B) are not related to the sampling process. Sampling error (D) refers to the difference between a sample statistic and the population parameter, but it is not the correct term for the sampling frame. Population parameter (E) refers to the numerical characteristics of a population, but it is not the correct term for the sampling frame.
