And I also have a brain and a Finance degree, and can realize that a sample size of less than 1% of the population is statistically invalid......
Why? It seems to me most people here have little knowledge of statistics. Bigger sample is always better, but claim that small sample is invalid?
Any second college student in Math or Business could tell you this.....
Well may be only second grade... Get real! they took sample small but related to total size, excuded correlations (i.e. software developers , vendors, etc.... they would of likely to vote for in-house solutions) poll 'em. What's wrong? What is statisticaly wrong here? Sounds like your Finance degree...
Also they could validate this poll any time, by choosing another sample of 300. Compare results.
