Answer

Sampling or chance error is the different between the result obtained from a sample survey and the result that would be obtained from the census. Non-response or systematic error is the error that occurs because many of the people included in the sample do not respond. Selection bias is the error that occurs because the sampling frame is not representative of the population. Response bias is the error that occurs because people included in the survey do not provide the correct answer. Non-sampling or systematic error are errors that occur in the collection, recording, and tabulation of data Voluntary response bias is the error that occurs because a survey is not conducted on a randomly selected sample, but people are invited to respond voluntarily to the survey.
