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.

How To get valid results small samples are sufficient?

I will assume the sample is random. In general, the larger the sample, the smaller the percentage error will be (the difference between percentages in the sample, and the percentages in the universe from whence the sample is taken). The percentage error tends to go down as the square root of the size of the sample.


How does the sample size affect an experiment?

Sample size greatly reduces any error to randomness in a given sample. Each experiment requires a proper size of a sample. The better it is fitted to the experiment, the better is the result. For example, if you are trying to find out the study habits of students at your school of 1000 kids, a sample size of 50 would be sufficient. However, if you are trying to find out the study habits of students across the US, a sample size of at least several hundred-thousand would be required, preferably several million.

Does sample size affect survey result?

Yes, sample size can significantly impact survey results. A larger sample size generally provides more representative and reliable results compared to a smaller sample size. With a larger sample size, the margin of error decreases, increasing the accuracy of the findings.
