Increasing sample size does not directly control sample bias. Instead, it helps to increase the precision and accuracy of the study's findings, making it a more representative sample. However, it is important to carefully select the sample from the population to ensure it is representative of the entire population of interest. Defining the population of interest clearly helps narrow down the selection process, and obtaining responses from the sample group helps ensure the sample is not biased in terms of non-response rates.
