There is no "ideal" sample size for any given population, because polls and other statistical analysis forms depend on many factors, including what the survey is intended to show, who the target audience is, how much statistical error is permitted, and so on. The "Survey System" link, below, offers definitions and a couple of calculators to determine the best sample size for most purposes.

What is the difference between sample and sample size?
a sample is a sample sized piece given... a sample size is the amount given in one sample
What is the formula in finding the margin of error in slovins formula if the sample size and the population is given?
yes
Who is the statistician named slovin?
he was the one who introduced the slovin's formula, the estimated sample size given the population size and margin of error
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.
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.

yes
What is the relationship between sample and population?
From a sample of a population, the properties of the population can be inferred.
Will a random sample of the same size from a given population will produce exactly the same confidence interval for μ?
No.

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.
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
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 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.
What is true of a random sample?
Every member in the population has the same probability of being in the sample.Or, equivalently, every set of the given sample size has the same probability of being selected.
