Sampling error
|
|
|
Non-sampling error

Either A or B

|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The errors that are related to the collection of data are termed as Non-sampling Errors. If the field of investigation or the population size is large, then the possibility of Non-sampling Errors also increases. So, Non-sampling Errors maximises by taking large samples.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sampling errors are caused because the sample size is small and is inadequate to capture the population behaviour accurately. It can be reduced by increasing the sample size.
Detailed explanation-3: -The relationship between margin of error and sample size is inverse i.e when sample size increases, the sampling error decreases. This is because the more information you have, the more accurate the results would be.
