Sampling errors are errors in the data collected during the carrying out of quantitative data surveys. They can occur for various reasons, e.g. surveys that were incorrectly filled out. It is generally said that a survey needs to have a margin of error of under 3% to be statistically significant.

Sampling error can be reduced by?
Sampling error can be reduced by
What amount of sampling error is acceptable in a national sample of 1500 to 3000 respondents?
There can be no set value. An acceptable level of sampling error for a company making high precision machine parts is likely to be very different from the sampling error for household incomes, for example.
How to reduce sampling error?
The only way to get rid of sampling error is to use the entire population under study. This is usually impossible, so the next best thing is to use large samples and good sampling methods.
how to decrease margin of error in probability sampling?
With probability sampling you have no control over the units that are sampled. So the only way to reduce the margin of error is to increase the size of the sample.
A sampling error could occur from?
a poorly designed hypothesis
