Is it better to survey as many people as possible.explain?

It is not always better to survey as many people as possible. The sample size needs to be representative of the population being studied to draw accurate conclusions.

Why is having more people for a survey better?

the more people surveyed, the better cross section of the demographic will be represented. If you survey 5 people and 4 of them say one thing, you could say 4 out of 5 people say this. However, if you surveyed 100 people, you will likely find that number changes drastically. The larger the number of people surveyed, the more likely you will get accurate results.

What is the size of a sample for a survey?

The population is every data point you intend to generalise the survey results to. The sample frame is those data points that you can pick from for the survey. The sample is which of these data points you actually survey, and the sample size is how many of those data points there are. For instance, if you have 700 students in a school, and you have access to 300 of them, and decide to give 30 of them a survey, the sample size is 30.
