I. Computing Sample Size

1.1 Directions: Complete the table by computing for the sample size for a Simple
Random Sampling. Show your solution. ( 10 points each)

A. For a 90% confidence interval

Confidence Interval Standard Deviation Margin of Error Sample Size

1.645 0.5 5% 271

Solution:
(1.645)2 x 0.5 (1−0.5)
n=
(0.05)2
(2.706025)x 0.5(0.5)
n=
0.0025
(2.706025)x (0. 25)
n=
(0.0025)
(0.67650625)
n=
(0.0025)
n=270.60
n=27 1
 B. For a 95% confidence interval
Confidence Interval Standard Deviation Margin of Error Sample Size

1.960 0.3 5% 323

Solution:
(1.960)2 x 0.3(1−0.3)
n=
(0.05)2
(3.8416) x 0.3(0.7)
n=
0.0025
(3.8416) x (0.2 1)
n=
(0.0025)
