Good for you, you almost managed to type a sentence without botching it!

Please don't try to explain sample size until you've learned how to type.

It's enough to be a statistically valid sample if they controlled properly for various other factors including class, education, age, etc., etc..

Required sample size is not directly related to population size. It is directly related to the effect size of the test you're using, which is affected by population variance. In fact, larger sample sizes are more likely to return significance on spurious correlations (DOW Jones and skirt length being a popular example.)

This study is shit because its sample comes entirely from white Londoners. Expanding that sample to 3,600, 360,000 or 3.6 million won't make it a better study.
