    Sloven Formula

    The document discusses Sloven's formula, which is used to calculate the required sample size (n) for a population (N) with a given level of confidence (e). The formula is n = N / (1 + N(e)^2). An example shows how to calculate a sample size of 355 for a population of 2,500 students with a 5% margin of error. Sloven's formula provides the minimum sample size needed to estimate the characteristics of a total population within a given confidence level.

    n = number of samples N = total population e = error margin n = N / (1 + Ne) 1000 = N / (1 + N * 0.5) 1000 = N / (1 + 0.25N) 1000 * (1 + 0.25N) = N 1000 + 250N = N 1000 = -249N I think you mean N = 1000 n = 1000 / (1 + 1000 * 0.5) n = 1000 / (1 + 250) n = 3.984063745 = 4 samplings What is slovin's formula and give some example? to determine the ideal sample size for a population, slovin's formula is used which is n = N / (1 + (N*e^2)) Where: n = number of samples N = total population e = margin of error

    Sample Calculation: A group of students want to know the age of students in a high school but do not have the resources to survey an entire population of 2,500. If they want to use a sample with a 5% margin of error, what should their sample size be? Given: N = 2,500 e = 5% = 0.05 Required: n = ? Solution: n = N / (1 + (N*e^2)) n = 2500 / ( 1 + (2500*.05^2)) n = 2500 / 7.25 n = 344.83 ~ 355 Source(s): SUMMATION > Blog Archive > 2.2: DETERMINING THE SAMPLE SIZE
