B. MAIN LESSON
1) Activity 2: Content Notes
Today, you will learn to compute the sample size that estimate the population mean; calculate the
sample size that estimate the population proportion and solve problems that involves sample size
determination.

Directions: Copy the concept notes in your activity sheets. You can highlight the ideas that you
think can help you understand the topic.

After writing your notes, make at least one question and summarize the topic.

2) Activity 3: Skill-building Activities My score: ________

Since you’re done with the content notes, let us see now how much you know the lesson. Here are
the activities below that you need to answer.

I. Turn and Talk. Directions: Please turn to your buddy and discuss the following questions. Use
your time to share ideas about the topic and answer the following questions. First item is provided
for you. And answer the following problem using the formula in sample size determination that
estimates population mean.

1. How large a sample should be taken to be 90% sure that the error of estimation does not
exceed 0.5 unit when standard deviation is 2?

Solution:

( )

( )

2. How large a sample is required to be 99% confident that our estimate of population mean is not
off by more than 0.05 if ?

II. Think-Pair-Share. Think with your pair to share and find the point and/or confidence interval
estimates of the given problems below. Round off your answer to the next whole number.

Directions: Solve the following problem using the formula in sample size determination that
estimate population proportion .

1. How large a sample should be taken to be 99% confident that our estimate of is within 0.02?
