Which of the following phrases best describes a sampling frame?

Definition of a sampling frame

A sampling frame is a list or database that contains all the members of the population from which a sample is drawn. It serves as the basis for selecting a sample in a systematic and unbiased manner.

Evaluation of options

  • Option 1: A list of random numbers organized by rows and columns does not describe a sampling frame, as it does not represent the population members.
  • Option 2: A list containing all the members of the population is the correct definition of a sampling frame.
  • Option 3: A list of random numbers placed in a hat is unrelated to the concept of a sampling frame.
  • Option 4: A list containing a small segment of the population describes a sample, not a sampling frame.

Conclusion

The phrase that best describes a sampling frame is Option 2: a list containing all the members of the population.
