Frequently Asked Questions
Why is sample size important?
A sufficient sample size ensures your survey results are statistically meaningful. Too small a sample increases the margin of error and decreases the reliability of conclusions. The formula balances precision (smaller margin of error) with practicality (cost of gathering data).
