Sample Coverage

The 2011 Census information for this area states a population of some 3500

permanent residents consisting of 1900 private dwellings.
            100 completed interviews were obtained of residents, rate payers

            and business operators

            20 of those completed interviews included local business operators

            2 of the business operators also resided at Peregian Beach




Confidence Interval of Findings

The sample size of 100 completed questionnaires in a population of over 3500

residents, rate payers and business operators, will provide results that have a

Confidence Interval of 5%. Statistically speaking, this suggests results of each

question are considered reflective within + 2.5% or -2.5% of any ’real’ result if the
entire population was interviewed.
