Sample Size Determination
To determine the effective sample size I would use the Check Market website sample size calculator and give a margin of error of 2.5% and a confidence level of 95%. The entire population is ranging between 500 and 1,000 (Target Inc. , 2015). Thus, I would use a sample size of 377 respondents (CheckMarket.com , 2015).
