  "definition": "1. A conceptual population that is a subset of the intersection of the Target Population and the Sample Frame. It excludes portion of the Target Population within the Sample Frame that could not be sampled (conceptually) due to access problems, lost samples, or other reasons a sample could not be collected. It doesn't include part of the Sample Frame that is determined to not include elements of the Target Population.\n\n2. Part of the target population (see definition of “target population”) that is accessible and available for sampling. Ideally, the sampled population and the target population are the same. If they are not, then professional judgment is used to verify that data drawn from the sampled population is appropriate for drawing conclusions about the target population.\n\n3.
