A sample size of one is sufficient to enable you to calculate a statistic.

The sample size required for a "good" statistical estimate will depend on the variability of the characteristic being studied as well as the accuracy required in the result. A rare characteristic will require a large sample. A high degree of accuracy will also require a large sample.

The sample size depends on how common or rare the characteristic that you are looking for is.
