Chapter 22.1 Size of researched population
Because the researched population is any complete group of entities – like people, stores, students, companies – that share some common set of characteristics, I choose for my marketing research to talk about the red gym and the opinions of the students from the Transilvania University and because of that I made the research online the research population is equal with 2000 peoples.
2.2 Sampling
2.2.1 Sample size The sample size is a crucial element of quantitative
marketing research. Identifying the proper sample size is based on statistical theory. Determination of sample size is made according to the population parameters.
The formula for sample size:n= z2 ∙ p ∙ q
E2
z=1,96p=50 Binaryq=50≝(100-p) questions
E=3% or 5%

n1=1,962 ∙50 ∙50
32 =1067 persons(for an error of 3 % )
n2=1,962 ∙50 ∙ 50
52 =384 persons( for an error of 5%)
2.2.2 Sampling method For my marketing research I use the Cluster sampling method.
An economically efficient sampling technique in which the primary sampling unit is not the individual element in the population but a large cluster of elements. It is often used in marketing research, when a sampling frame is not available. The population is divided in clusters, usually on territorial basis. Some clusters are selected randomly, and all the people belonging to these clusters are included in the sample.

Conclusions and recommendations
In conclusion the students from the Transilvania university go to the gym and love to practice a sport. They are satisfied with the with the cleanliness and hygiene. But they would like to have variety of products at the end of the day, and they would like to learn how to practice self-defense.My recommendations for this problems are:
-To have a bigger staff for a short waiting time.-The program to start early at 10:00 am.-To bring more fitness supliments at the end of
the day.
