Answer to Question 1

ANY OF THE FOLLOWING IS ACCEPTABLE: 1) YOU DON'T NEED A LIST OF ALL THE INDIVIDUAL UNITS, JUST A LIST OF THE CLUSTERS; 2) IT CAN BE MUCH MORE CONVENIENT YET STILL ACCURATE; 3) IT CAN BE MUCH CHEAPER.

Answer to Question 2

ANY SITUATION WHERE THE SAMPLING FRAME IS HARD OR IMPOSSIBLE TO GET, BUT YOU HAVE SOME IDEA OF HOW BIG THE POPULATION IS.

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
