2. Sample
It is the small group you
observe and a population is the
larger group about which your
generalization is made
3. Population
It is the group to which a
researcher would like the
results to be generalizable
4. Slovin’S formula in finding the
sample size of the population
N
________
n=
1+Ne2
5. Where:
n = a sample size
N = population size
e = desired margin of error
(% allowance for non-precision because of the
use of sample instead of the population
6. For instance, in your research, if the
population is 9,000 and the margin of
error you allow is 2%, what is your
representative sample?
Through computation, your obtained
sample size will be 1,957. This is attained
through the following computation:
12. Always remember that the
assumption of a normal distribution of
the population should be considered.
When the normal approximation of your
population is small or poor, this sample
size formula does not apply.
