If the size of a sample equals to the size of the population?
Sample is subset of the population so sample size and population size is different.However, as a subset can be the whole set, if the sample size equals the population size, you have sampled the entire population and you will be 100% accurate with your results; it may cost much more than surveying a [representative] sample, but you get the satisfaction of knowing for what you surveyed the population exactly.Using a sample is a trade off between the cost of surveying the whole population and accuracy of the result.A census is a survey of the whole population and could be considered that the sample size = population size; in this case the results are 100% accurate.The television viewing figures are calculated using a sample of the whole population and then extrapolating them to the whole population; depending upon how the same was chosen, including its size, will affect the accuracy of the results - most likely not more than 95% accurate.With a carefully selected (that is properly biased) sample you can prove almost anything!
What is absolute sample size?
It is the number of elements in the sample. By contrast, the relative sample size is the absolute sample size divided by the population size.
How does sample size affect the experiment?
The sample size determines the accuracy of results in an experiment
When can you estimate a population's size when counting individuals in a sample of the population?
You can estimate a population's size when counting individuals if the density in a sample is greater than the population density.
What is the sample size for a population of 8000?
Sample size = SQRT(8000) +1 =90
Why do smaller populations need larger sample sizes?
They do not. Population size does not affect the sample size. The variability of the characteristic that you are trying to measure and the required accuracy will determine the appropriate sample size.
What question should a research consumer asked or Explore when evaluating sample size in a research report?
How representative is the sample relative to the target population.

What is the relationship between sample and population?
From a sample of a population, the properties of the population can be inferred.
What is absolute sample size?
It is the number of elements in the sample. By contrast, the relative sample size is the absolute sample size divided by the population size.
What is the sample size for a population of 60010?
well a sample size can be any size depending on the requirements. A sample size could be 10 people of that entire population or it could be 1000 people.
How does sample size affect the experiment?
The sample size determines the accuracy of results in an experiment
When can you estimate a population's size when counting individuals in a sample of the population?
You can estimate a population's size when counting individuals if the density in a sample is greater than the population density.
Does sample size affect survey result?
a larger the sample size will reduce the size of the confidence interval
What is the sample size for a population of 8000?
Sample size = SQRT(8000) +1 =90
How does sample size affect the margin of error?
The larger the sample size, the smaller the margin of error.
What is the sample size definition?
Sample size is the number of samples arawn from a population. If you drew 20 samples, your sample size would be 20.
