    How Many People to Survey?
    Poll results are prevalent in the media especially leading up to elections as are reports on surveys done by universities and research groups.
    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.
