CENSUS, NOT A SAMPLE I have recently conducted an attitudinal survey of employees. Of the 350 employees, 241 took part - a response rate of 69%. Can I assume that any differences I detect in the results, say between males and females, are real - irrespective of magnitude? Or should I apply the usual significance tests even though the sample represents such a large proportion of the population?
