Utilizing Purposive Sampling with a sizable sample of 500 EB_3 0.78
respondents offers a methodologically solid approach for
focused, specialized research. The large sample size not only
enhances the robustness of the study but also provides room
for advanced statistical analyses, making it particularly
relevant for academic inquiry. Although traditional measures
of sampling error cannot be calculated, the post-hoc
confidence intervals still provide valuable insights into the 5.1 Hypothesis testing
