3 research topics:
A. Malnutrition among students in a selected public secondary school in Sampaloc,
Manila
B. Prevalence of Diabetes Milletus of working adults in a selected barangay in
Sampaloc, Manila
C. Tea consumption and blood sugar levels among utility workers in UST
Exercise 6:
1. Identify possible sources of bias:
A.
Recall of diet
Difference in social status
B.
DM May be genetically-inherited (type I)
Difference in work environment
Age group
C.
Selection bias- diabetic patients
Frequency and type of tea consumed
Other food consumed
Exercise 7:
1. Determine the most appropriate sampling design
A.
Stratified random sampling population are grouped into educational level
and then simple ramdom sampling is done per level.
B.
Simple random sampling
Make an official list of all diabetic individual in the barangay
Computer generated random numbers
C.
Convenience Sampling subjects those who are available

2. Determine the sample size

Your confidence level corresponds to a Z-score. This is a constant value
needed for this equation. Here are the z-scores for the most common
confidence levels:

90% Z Score = 1.645

95% Z Score = 1.96

99% Z Score = 2.576

If you choose a different confidence level, use this Z-score table* to find your
score.
Next, plug in your Z-score, Standard of Deviation, and confidence interval into
this equation:**
Necessary Sample Size = (Z-score) * StdDev*(1-StdDev) / (margin of error)
Here is how the math works assuming you chose a 95% confidence level, .5
standard deviation, and a margin of error (confidence interval) of +/- 5%.
((1.96) x .5(.5)) / (.05)
(3.8416 x .25) / .0025
.9604 / .0025
384.16
385 respondents are needed
