Reply to Eli5 why does a survey need to have a minimum of 30 respondees to be statistically significant? by shashwathj

I always heard 1500 participants are required to make it valid.

But look how easy even that many can be corrupt. What if they're saying 100% of people think God is real, but the survey featured 1500 people from rural Texas. It would be heavily biased.
