They can divide the entire country’s population into cities and select further towns with the availability of the internet. b) The working approach of top managers in an organization is quite different from that of middle managers. If there are 60% top managers and 40% middle managers in this organization, and if a total of 30 people is to be interviewed to find the answer to the research question, then 18 top managers and 12 middle managers will be chosen for the collection of data through an interview, because these numbers represent 60% and 40% of the sample size.
