RE: UKNM: Online surveys

[Laura Hirst]

The problem with sample size is that it is all relative, so for example, if

the population you are studying is 100 people then a sample size of 20 is

suffice, however if the sample size is 500000 then you are looking to reach

a much higher sample size in order to make it valid research.
