Version: 1.0.0-betaTroubleshooting — Sampling
Sample size seems too large
- Lower the confidence level (from 95% to 90%)
- Increase the tolerable error rate
- Check the population size is accurate
- Consider whether judgmental sampling is more appropriate
Sample size seems too small
- Increase the confidence level
- Decrease the tolerable error rate
- Verify the expected error rate is realistic
Can't generate random sample
- Ensure the population data is loaded
- Check that population size is correct
- The random generator requires at least 1 item
Evaluation shows unacceptable results
- The observed error rate exceeds the tolerable error rate
- Options: expand the sample, investigate root cause, or report as a finding
- Document the evaluation methodology and conclusion
