The sample size will depend on a number of factors other than the populatoin.
These include:
- the resources (time, money) available for data collection, cleaning and validation, input and storage, and analysis;
- the implications of getting the answer wrong;
- the variability of the characteristic that is being measured;
- whether or not a simple random sample is the best sampling scheme.

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.
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.
