    The document discusses methods for determining sample size from a population. It introduces Sloven's formula: n = N / (1 + Ne^2), where n is the sample size, N is the population size, and e is the margin of error. Several examples show how to calculate sample size using this formula. The document also discusses probability and non-probability sampling techniques for selecting samples, such as simple random sampling, stratified random sampling, and cluster sampling. It recommends using probability sampling in research to avoid bias.

    Computing the Sample Size

    In all studies or researches , the sample size is


    determined by using the SLOVEN’s Formula:
    N
    n = ------
    1 + Ne2

    where:
    N = population size
    n = sample size
    e = margin of error ( in % )
    Example
    1) A researcher would like to conduct a study on
    the SES ( Socio Economic Status ) of students in a
    particular university with a population of 5000
    students. If the researcher is given 5% margin of
    error, how many students would he take for his
    sample?
    Solution: N = 5000 , e = 5% or .05
    Solving for n , we use the Sloven’s formula
    n= N
    1 + Ne2
    = 5000
    1 + (5000)( .05 )2
    n = 5000
    1 + (5000)(.0025)
    = 5000
    1 + 12.5
    = 5000
    13.5
    n = 370.37
    Therefore,the reseacher will only take 370
    students for his sample.
    2. Given N = 1,940 respondents
    e = 10% = .10
    Solve for the sample size , n
    Solution:
    n = 1,940
    1 + (1,940)(.10)2
    = 1,940 = 1,940 = 95.10
    1 + 19.4 20.4

    3.Given: N = 25,500
    e = 3.5 %
    Solve for the sample size , n
    solution: n = 25,500
    1 + (25,500)(.035 )2
    = 25,500
    1 + (25,500)(.001225)
    = 25,500
    1 + 31.2375
    = 25,500
    32.2375
    = 791.00
    Sampling Technique
    In doing a research or study ,selection of sample
    is very crucial as wrong sampling can lead to
    invalid results/conclusions/generalizations...

    Types of Sampling Technique :


    1) PROBABILITY sampling
    ( unbiased )
    2) NONPROBABILITY sampling
    ( biased )
    Types of Probability Sampling
    1) Simple Random Sampling
    - each member of the population has equal
    chance to be included in the sample.

    2)Systematic Random Sampling


    - which considers every nth element of the
    population...

    3) Stratefied Random Sampling


    - a given population is purposively divided
    into homogeneous strata ( partitions )...
    4) Cluster Sampling
    - like stratefied sampling, the population
    is divided into clusters ( groups) where the
    clusters are heterogeneous
    Examples
    1) A teacher randomly selects 8 girls and 5 boys
    to participate in the tree planting
    ( stratefied random sampling )
    2) A researcher randomly chooses 4 sections out
    of 10 sections of grade 11 students
    ( cluster sampling )
    3) Twenty students in a class are randomly
    selected by drawing their names from a box.
    ( simple random sampling )

    4) A famous coffee shop gives free taste of their


    brewed coffee to every 7th customer as part of
    their 7th anniversary.
    ( systematic random sampling )
    Types of Nonprobability Sampling
    1)Convenience Sampling
    - sampling is on the matter of the
    “researcher’s convenience “

    2) purposive sampling
    - sampling is done based on the
    researcher’s judgment ...

    3)Snowball sampling
    - sampling is done by the so called “chain-
    referrals”...
    4) Quota sampling
    - sampling is done by quotas...

    5)volunteer sampling
    - sampling is done through volunteerism...

    Honestly speaking, in doing research / study ,


    ramdom sampling is recommended as to refrain
    from being biased...
