1. Determine the sample size of each of the following, given the population size
with the corresponding margin of errors?
(a) N = 350; e =10%
N 350
n= n= =77.78∨78
1+ N e 2 1+350 (0.1)2

(b) N =5,600; e = 5%;

5600
n= 2
=373.33
1+5600( 0.05)

(c) N = 850, e = 8%
850
n= =131.99∨132
1+850 (0.08)2

(d) N = 2,500, e = 6 %
2500
n= 2
=250
1+2500 (0.06)

(e) N = 1,750, e = 9%.

1750
n= =115.32∨115
1+1750( 0.09)2
