Target Population:
The total specifically defined set of people about whom you want to gather information.
Sampling Frame:
A subset of the population to be surveyed
Sample—those who respond
Random:
Each member of the target population has an equal chance of being in the sample
Use the Maxwell Manual!
Students need to understand this better

Stress the formula more and that students must estimate and justify the response
625 =
