The pilot sample is usually a small subset of the :

  • A.Target population
  • B.Sampled population
  • C.Stratified population
  • D.Clustered population

Answer: A

The answer the key accepts is the target population.

A pilot study is a small trial run of the research instrument before the main survey. Its sample is drawn from the same population the study is about, the target population, so that the questionnaire and procedures can be tested on the kind of people who will answer them.

'Stratified' and 'clustered' describe sampling designs, not populations. The sampled population is the frame from which the main sample is actually drawn, which the key does not treat as the reference here.
