This document discusses key concepts related to sampling and determining sample size, including population, sampling frame, sampling techniques, sample size determination, and factors that influence response rates such as incentives, questionnaire design, and follow-up. Probability and non-probability sampling techniques are covered as well as how to calculate an appropriate sample size based on the desired level of precision, confidence level, and confidence interval.
