To determine the sample, we recall that a sample is the subset of the population from which data is actually collected. The population here is all voters in the district. The state representative mailed questionnaires to 800 voters (an SRS), but only 152 returned them. The sample is the group from which we get responses (the data), so it's the 152 voters who returned the questionnaire. The 800 voters are the selected sample frame, but the actual sample with data is those who responded. The "all voters" is the population, not the sample.
