Sample size requirements are driven by:
Variance of Variable
A measure of the dispersion of the variable. Variables with large variances require larger samples. Confidence Level
How certain you wish to be that the sample mean falls within a specified range of the population mean. The more certainty required; the larger sample required. Confidence Interval
The range in which you want to be X% sure that your population mean is included. The smaller the desired range, the larger the required sample. The variance of and number of valid responses received for each question in this survey allowed mean estimation with a 95% confidence level and a confidence interval of .2 for each question in this survey. Thus, we will be 95% confident that the sample mean is within 0.2 of the true population score.
Additional Considerations
Potential Response Bias
Those who responded to the survey may have different feelings from those who did not. People with strong feelings are typically more likely to respond to surveys. Mitigation Strategy
Additional attempts may be made to survey non-respondents. However, the magnitude of negative feedback already received suggests some corrective action is regardless advisable. Exhibit 2
