• Dispersion / variance: The greater the dispersion or variance within the population, the larger the sample must be to provide estimation precision.
• Precision of the estimate: the greater the desired precision of the estimate, the larger the sample must be.
• Interval range: The narrower the interval range, the larger the sample must be.
• Confidence level: The higher the confidence level in the estimate, the larger the sample must be.
• Number of subgroups: The greater the number of subgroups of interest within a sample, the greater the sample size must be, as each subgroup must meet minimum sample size requirements.
• If the calculated sample size exceeds 5% of the population, sample size may be reduced without sacrificing precision.

(Solved)
Following a prolonged period of marketing activity, a chain of private health clinics has recently opened a number of clinics in towns across a part of the country it had not previously operated in. The organization now wants to know whether and to what extent potential customers are aware of them. Your agency has been awarded the contract to carry out this research. The client wants the survey conducted face-to-face but does not want to use any form of street intercept for the survey as this is not permitted within some of the towns where they have opened their new clinics.
a) Describe at least two sampling methods which could be used for this survey, outlining the advantages and disadvantages of each of the methods chosen.
b) Which sampling method would you recommend? Give reasons for your choice.
