We lost 70% of our player base half a year in

Just out of curiosity, what is an acceptable sample size to you?

Realistically speaking?

If the survey is to include a population of over 100,000, then an acceptable sample would be at least ONE HALF. Telling me that I am in the group that agrees with some idiotic claim after a sample of 300 people in a population of 300,000 ( the local area I am in ) is absolutely bizarre.

"We sampled a group of 300 people and have concluded that 85% of a population of 300,000 agree with it" is to put it bluntly, idiotic.

Ask 5000 people and you get 5000 DIFFERENT answers.

its like these political polls you see that apparently agree with some asinine government proposal....leading me to ask who did they ask, the members of that particular political party? We never hear who they talked to , or their political affiliation either.

Then again we never know if the questions themselves were loaded to get a predetermined result.

Throw out all the statistics you like, they are all garbage.

Ive never been polled ONCE in over fifty years. No one I know has, no one in my family has been.....so no i dont agree with these "polls"...you want my opinions?

ASK ME.

Most statistics are utter GIGO.

(though the poster above you clearly does not understand anything to polling methodology, including randomization and weighting, and statistics).

Wrong.

Worked for a statistician on several projects, and am very familiar with the entire system. I dont care what "polling methodology" you use, any survey that gets a sample of 10% and then concludes that those results accurately affects the other 90% is...........delusional.

He thought the "science" was a steaming load of fwe too.
