researchers in the hse
whats an acceptable/good sample size?
Working with confidence level of 95% and using stratified random samplid due to the nature of the population.
Any expert in the house?
Thanks.

Any above 30 provided you quote authority e.g. Mugenda and Mugenda, C. kothari.
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Sounds academic to me.

What is your target population?
Your target population will determine your sample size. at times you can use a predetermined table such as D Isreal's (2009) for instance, according to isreal, 2009 with a target population 500 the sample size should be 222 with +5 ( level of precision or sampling error)
