Estimate of Error (E) Sample Size (N)

The document contains solutions to two exercises using Slovin's formula to determine sample sizes for given populations and error estimates. The first exercise calculates sample sizes for a population of 10,000 with error estimates ranging from 1% to 5%. The second exercise determines the sample size needed from different student levels to assess the quality of service at a school with a total population of 2,000 students.

Exercise 1: Given a population (N) of 10,000, complete the table below using Slovin’s formula.

Estimate Of Error (e) Sample Size (n)


1% 5,000
2% 2,000
3% 1,000
4% 588
5% 385

Solutions:

(e) = 1% (e) = 2% (e) = 3%

n= n= n=
10,000 10,000 10,000
1+(10,000)(0.01)2 1+(10,000)(0.02)
2 1+(10,000)(0.03)

n= n= n=
10,000 10,000 10,000
1+ (10,000 )( .0001 ) 1+ (10,000 )( .0004 ) 1+ (10,000 )( .0009 )
10,000 10,000 10,000
n= n= n=
1+ ( 1 ) 1+ ( 4 ) 1+ ( 9 )

(e) = 4% (e) = 5%

Exercise 2: A public secondary school wishes to assess the students’ views of the quality of
service of specific offices under student services. The population of 2000 students consist of:
Level Population (N) Sample Size (n)
1st year 550 55
2nd year 500 50
3rd year 500 50
4th year 450 45
TOTAL N = 2000 n = 200

Level Solution (N) Answer


1st year 550/2000 x 200 55
2nd year 500/2000 x 200 50
3rd year 500/2,000 x 200 50
4th year 450/2,000 x 200 45
TOTAL N = 2000 n = 200
