A) minimal error and maximal error
B) cost error and informative error
C) sample error and population error
D) nonsampling error and sampling error
Sampling Error

Population Parameters
Quantitative characteristics of a population, such as mean or standard deviation, derived from measurements of the individuals within the population.
NonSampling Error
Errors that occur during data collection or processing but are not related to the act of selecting a sample from the population.
