Answer: b. a situation in which a sample is not representative of the larger universe being measured

Step-by-step explanation:

Sampling error is a statistical error on the path of the sample selected by the analyst when the sample selected for the analysis does not represent the entire population of data considered. Therefore, the results obtained from the sample will not represent the entire population.
