Sample Size Calculation: Statistical Analysis With Software Application

This document discusses sample size calculation and statistical analysis methods. It describes key terms related to population and sampling, including how the population is defined, sampling techniques that can be used, and how representative the sample should be of the overall population. It emphasizes that the sampling method should minimize bias and ensure the sample is representative of the target population the results will be generalized to. The document also notes the sample size depends on the level of data needed for the study.

Population and Sampling

The population refers to the complete enumeration of the


individuals/ subjects that possess the characteristics or
information that are of interest to the researcher for inferential
purposes. Sampling or sample, on the other hand, is a
proportion of the population chosen for the study that represents
the specific population of interest.

The researcher describes the sampling procedures in detail. The


sampling technique used in the choice of subjects/ respondents
for the study explains how the group/s was/were selected,
whether representative of the population of interest. He may use
any of the several sampling techniques: random, systematic,
stratified random, cluster, quota, convenience, etc.
The researcher
should consider the

Respondents/ Participants of the Study

The researcher places here the well-defined population, the


systematic sampling procedure, and the total enumeration or
delimited population in terms of the percentage of samples or
respondents used in the study.

The researcher should explain in this part of the study, the


characteristics of the respondents and the reasons why they are
chosen as respondents. The number of respondents depends on the
extensiveness/ intensiveness of verifiable data needed in the study.
•What do you need to know about Slovin's
formula?
•Slovin's formula gives the researcher an idea of
how large the sample size needs to be to ensure a
reasonable accuracy of results. TL;DR (Too
Long; Didn't Read) Slovin's Formula provides the
sample size (​n ​) using the known population size
(​N ​) and the acceptable error value (​e ​).
•What is the margin of error for Slovin's formula?
•To use the formula, first figure out the error of tolerance. For
example, a confidence level of 95 percent (giving a margin error
of 0.05) may be accurate enough, or a tighter accuracy of a 98
percent confidence level (a margin of error of 0.02) may be
required.
