Sorry...What? Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I am comparing the literacy rates and poverty rates of countries, and I have 25 data points for each.How many data points are we actually supposed to have? 50? 100?

Award Winning Boss Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I had roughly 400 if you count it spread over 3 years. It's not difficult to amass that amount of data but I'd recommend at least 50. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorry...What? Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 wow. my whole class is doing something like 20 points....so 50 for each rate (poverty 50, literacy 50) ? or 25 for each rate for a grand total of 50 data points overall ?

It's no more work that doing 25 points. You'll probably get more reliable results doing it that way. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreas79 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I have the same question! My teacher told me that I need to survey like the whole school..its impossible. Is it okay if I survey at least 100 people? Thanks! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
