Corrik 08/10/17 10:55:09 AM #341:	Metal_DK posted... If you have never taken a statistics course you shouldnt talk about sample size requirements. The amount of people who see a study of 200 people, or 2000 people, etc and then say "idk thats pretty small" do not understand how its not. Assuming the sampling is not all from one region (say everyone in that sample is from one state, then using that as a sample for the nation) of the country, 1325 is very much a large enough sample size I have a masters in statistics if "whats your qualifications" comes up. Was not a 1325 sample size. As already stated, they threw out over half the survey for being invalid. They did not poll registered republicans by their own admission by saying they used those who "identified with or leaned republican". Which is a big difference. And they do not state in any way the metrics of the poll satisfactorily. You polled based on ratios of sex, age etc... based on your initial 1325. Which you threw out more than half of. The poll is beyond flawed and if you have a masters in stats and can't conclude that then I am baffled. --- LoL ID = imajericho XBL GT = Corrik <cite>Corrik posted [p:884521734] in Politics C...
