Don't have a handle on statistics, sampling, margin of error? MIT to the rescue for FREE [View all]

take advantage of MIT's open courseware which provide you video lectures, reading material, sample problems, etc.

You, too, can begin to undertand the principles of statistical inference about a population based on a sample size.

Learn too how sample size relative to the population will affect the confidence interval and cost of executing the sampling.

Great for people who don't understand scientific polling.
