Ah yes, 2,313 people, otherwise known as a representative sample 350 million.
Edit: I'm not respond to the morons who think someone's FB status poll is representative of America.
2000 can absolutely be a representative sample size. The bigger worry here is sampling bias rather than sample size.
You mean, MMCCCXIII people.
You know there will be plenty of Americans who think their numbers are American and not Arabic.
I've heard "speak American" coming out of one's mouth once.
Hey now. Every village has its idiots. We just happen to have a lot of them.
Because freedom!
MURICAAAA!
I don't believe this is a representative sample, but not because of the sample size. Stay in your lane, high school level science education.
High school statistics covers sampling just fine. Some people weren't paying attention.
🙄
This fucking comment on every single poll result. Consider learning even the tiniest bit about how statistical sampling works.
It appears to be an online poll which wouldn’t have proper sampling
That's a vastly better critique than just whining about the sample size.
Tell me you don’t know statistics without saying it specifically.
I don’t think a more representative sample would improve the ratio, tbh
I've been seeing this one for years, are we even sure it was ever a real thing and not just a meme about the "dihydrogen monoxide" science word scary type reactionary movement?
It most definitely is. The fact isAmerica is either smart enough to run the largest empire ever, or the world is dumb enough to let them do it. Personally, I'd like to think the rest of the world is also smart.
I agree this isn't representative. But i would argue there was no need for a poll to determine what percentage of americans would have said no.
It would likely be fifty-seven percent. Or LVII per centum
