- Calculate the sample size based on the specifications in Buhi's contract. Make sure it is within budget, reasonable to obtain, and that you use appropriate inputs relative to market research best practices. Use the calculator to adjust the sample size statement. Use the agreed-upon sample size in Buhi's contract: 996. In your secondary research, find the target population size (an estimate of those in the United States looking to purchase luggage in the category in the next two years). You will use this target population size for each sample size estimate. Adjust the provided sample size calculator inputs to find the rest of the figures that get you to the agreed-upon sample size. The caveats from Buhi are that you must: Use the market research standard for your confidence level. Use a confidence interval that is better than the market research standard for your confidence interval.arrow_forwardThe partnership of Keenan and Kludlow paid the following wages during this year: Line Item Description Amount M.
