What will be an ideal response?
The larger the sample, the more confidence we can have in the sample's representativeness; the more homogeneous the population, the more confidence we can have in the representativeness of a sample of any particular size; the fraction of the total population that a sample contains does not affect the sample's representativeness unless that fraction is large.
