Report of 3-4 pages<\/span><\/p>\n

Poll results are prevalent in the media, especially leading up to elections, as are reports on surveys done by universities and research groups.<\/p>\n

The survey results of small groups of people are used to portray a general consensus about a population. Do you ever wonder how many people should be included in a survey to make it a meaningful reflection of a population? Now you will be able to answer your own question. After learning this, you might never feel the same about these polls and surveys again.<\/p>\n
