Sample size
We could calculate the sample size for our survey research to study the effectiveness of the
Nivea advertisement, suppose if we want 95 percent confident level and range of error of less
than 5 rupee. The estimate of the standard deviation is 25rupees.

Pretesting
The first thing to do is to find that the questions are appropriate in respect to the information to
be collected. So first the questionnaire will be tested on a small group of population like friends,
family or colleagues. After that, their views will be taken regarding the questionnaire about was
it regarding the questions asked or the options available , sequence of the questions or any other
question to be added. After the review is taken will make the necessary changes and then test
the questionnaire then the pre-tests can be tried out on friends, family or colleagues. This way I
can get a better idea of how my sample will really react. I will ask-follow up questions to make
sure they understand and are giving valid answers. Take notes on their reactions and be aware
of whether they seem to be losing interest. Revise the survey if necessary.
