"Out of four people interviewed"

Wow! That's a big sample. What's the confidence level of a sample of 4? Somewhere around 1%?

Divide 1 by the square root of the number of people surveyed, and that gives you the “margin of error”. In this case, an “error” (statistical term) of 50%. SO this is basically statistically meaningless.
