What households are omitted from this frame?What types of people do you think are likely to live in these households? Thesepeople will probably be underrepresented in the sample.(b) It is usual in telephone surveys to use random digit dialing equipment thatselects the last four digits of a telephone number at random after being given theexchange (the first three digits). Which of the households you mentioned in youranswer to (a) will be included in the sampling frame by random digit dialing?
