    This document discusses Slovin's formula, which is used to determine the appropriate sample size when sampling a population. It explains that Slovin's formula allows researchers to sample a population with the desired level of accuracy based on the population size, margin of error, and confidence interval. The document then provides an example of how to use Slovin's formula, calculating a sample size of 351 for a population of 800 with a 4% margin of error. Finally, it lists advantages and disadvantages of using Slovin's formula, such as helping to minimize disturbance of work but lack of precision.
