Computes For An Appropriate Sample Size Using The Length of The Interval

The document discusses computing an appropriate sample size using the length of an interval. It addresses evaluating expressions and introduces concepts of confidence and margin of error when determining sample size. A formula for margin of error is derived that uses standard deviation, sample size, and a z-score.

Objectives:

Computes for an
appropriate sample
size using the length
of the interval.
Lets start….
Evaluate each of the following.

1.) 1 – 0.37 =
2.) (0.35) (0.65)
1.96 (2.3)
3.)
0.06
1.96 (2.3) 2
4.)( )
0.06
Getting Ready…

Many researches find


this a problem.
How large should a
sample be?
There are two things to
remember when we decide
on the quality of the sample
size we need:

Confidence and the


narrowness of the interval.

determining sample size is
derived from the formula of
the margin of error E where:
