Vibudha LK. Correct, so what should be the minimum sample size for such deduction? Coming from a research background, for prevalence estimation, a’g to any widely understood formula for sample size calculation like 4pq/lsquare, the sample size seems more than enough.
I don’t know whether you have a science background or not but if you are demanding a sample bigger than this then you should also stop believing in clinical trials and modern medicine. All of them are conducted in a far lesser population than this, because the criteria should be at least minimum sample size not any magic number that one considers important by virtue of experience etc.
I am sorry I am not using my real name because I don’t want to be abused and trolled, I am too old for that. Probably you wouldn’t, but many do. Please ask for clarification if you want to know further about the same.
I’m sorry if you were trolled or abused. Everyone experience that at one or the other point in their life including me. And, you make a good point. But the thing is, a research in Chemistry or Medicine is a totally diff ball game. A person in UK or US can be tested for medicinal purpose and the same medicine can be use in other parts of the world. But thats not the same thing here right. What I feel is not the same as what you feel. Two people coming from the same background, with the same education and bringing up, will feel differently about different topics. Hence, you can’t, and I stress it, you simply cannot put up a headline saying 1 in 2 Indian Muslims, jus because you claim that you have interviewed some 0.001% of the population. Because each individual has a different feeling. You cannot generalise it. All you achieve in doing so is creating fear and incepting your own opinions in people’s mind. Which is so wrong on so many levels. Hope you get my point.
I hope they dont cancel my reply
The population of India is 135.4 crores aprox.
You claim to do a study among merely 15,000 respondants. That is approx 0.001% of the total population. And u put up a headline stating 1 in 2 muslim feels something. I mean, how desperate are you? You should be ashamed of your articles.
