Fill in the blanks with a suitable word as given in the bracket.
(i) sampling method involves grouping the population into heterogeneous groups. (cluster/stratified)
(ii) The errors caused by drawing inference about the population on the basis of samples are termed as errors. (sampling/non-sampling)
(iii) Construction of classes as 10-19, 20-29 etc., refers to method of frequency distribution. (inclusive/ exclusive)
sampling is the probability sampling method. (Quota/Area) ratio is defined as the ratio of a part to a total which includes that part also. (Interpart/Distribution)
(vi) An ogive helps in locating the value of
