I mean, yeah, 1000 people is enough assuming there’s no sampling bias. But if you’ve got sampling bias, increasing the sampling size won’t actually help you. The issue you’re talking about is unrelated to how many people you talk to.
Your own suggestion of splitting up the respondents by state would itself introduce sampling bias, way over sampling low population states and way under sampling high population states. The survey was interested in the opinions of the nation as a whole, so arbitrary binning by states would be a big mistake. You want your sampling procedure to have equal change of returning a response from any random person in the nation. With a sample size of 1000, you’re not going to have much random-induced bias for one location or another, aside from population density, which is fine because the survey is about USA people and not people in sub-USA locations.
The way statistical sampling works, 1000 people in a population of 300,000,000 is actually good enough for most things. You can play around with numbers here to convince yourself, but at 95% confidence 1000 people will give an answer to within 3% of the true answer for the 300,000,000 population.
Suddenly trying to convince all my friends and family I’m from France.

Lol, I’m sorry you’re getting downvoted for speculating about improving weights and measures in a thread about wanting better weights and measures.
I kinda thought the title made it clear I was an American.
DST is good actually. Fite me.
I take it he was from Ohio?
Check out Ecosia. It’s the same thing, but your searches plant trees in a responsible manner.
I think that’s the funniest part. Like, as far as I know, the regular Assistant uses the same approach to handling data that buzzword AI things use, a neural network. But branding (and potentially internal company politics) is weird, so they decided to kneecap Assistant in order to make Gemini look better on release.
I’m having loads of fun! There’s something weirdly satisfying about playing a scenario and being able to plop down a coaster you already designed. It somehow makes it feel more “official” than custom designing one during that game.
That being said, when you custom make one during the game, you can make it match the landscape and even go underground, so there’s different “advantages.”
Open RCT2, open RCT2, open RCT2.
Right now I’m just designing pre-built rollercoasters in order to fill out my quick options when I’m playing the “real” game. I’m focusing on small, cheap coaster types since you really only have the ability to build expensive coasters after you’re well on your way to beating the scenario.
While there’s already plenty of pre-built wooden rollercoasters, here’s a pair in designed that nest inside each other.
Oh wow those look delicious! How long did they take?
Ah yes, if we make fewer things illegal, then we’ll have more crime!
Is the approved confusing language a done-deal or can it be challenged in court?
Your grandfather’s marijuana didn’t have the THC levels certified, so you were never totally sure exactly how high you were going to get. These days you can dial it in exactly to your liking.
How could the law possibly not fit Ohio if the majority of voters approve of that law?
Maybe we can slip in an amendment that changes it to train station…
Ohhhh Shhhhoiiiit this is a step in the right direction!
