To compute the sample size for each population, we need to determine the desired level of
confidence, the margin of error, and the population size. The formula for calculating the sample
size is:

n = (Z^2 * p * (1-p)) / (E^2)

Where:
n = sample size
Z = Z-score corresponding to the desired level of confidence
p = estimated proportion of the population
E = margin of error

Let's assume a 95% confidence level and a margin of error of 5% for all calculations.

1. For 250 Academic Strand Students:

• Population size (N) = 250

• Estimated proportion (p) = 0.5 (assuming equal distribution)

• Margin of error (E) = 0.05

• Z-score for 95% confidence level ≈ 1.96

n = (1.96^2 * 0.5 * (1-0.5)) / (0.05^2)

= 384.16

The sample size for 250 Academic Strand Students is approximately 384.

2. For 418 Grade 11 Students:

• Population size (N) = 418

• Estimated proportion (p) = 0.5 (assuming equal distribution)

• Margin of error (E) = 0.05

• Z-score for 95% confidence level ≈ 1.96

n = (1.96^2 * 0.5 * (1-0.5)) / (0.05^2)

= 384.16
The sample size for 418 Grade 11 Students is approximately 384.

3. For 686 Grade 12 Students:

• Population size (N) = 686

• Estimated proportion (p) = 0.5 (assuming equal distribution)

• Margin of error (E) = 0.05

• Z-score for 95% confidence level ≈ 1.96

n = (1.96^2 * 0.5 * (1-0.5)) / (0.05^2)

= 384.16

The sample size for 686 Grade 12 Students is approximately 384.

4. For 1104 SHS Students:

• Population size (N) = 1104

• Estimated proportion (p) = 0.5 (assuming equal distribution)

• Margin of error (E) = 0.05

• Z-score for 95% confidence level ≈ 1.96

n = (1.96^2 * 0.5 * (1-0.5)) / (0.05^2)

= 384.16

The sample size for 1104 SHS Students is approximately 384.

5. For 238 Grade 12 TVL Students:

• Population size (N) = 238

• Estimated proportion (p) = 0.5 (assuming equal distribution)

• Margin of error (E) = 0.05

• Z-score for 95% confidence level ≈ 1.96

n = (1.96^2 * 0.5 * (1-0.5)) / (0.05^2)

= 384.16
The sample size for 238 Grade 12 TVL Students is approximately 384.

Therefore, the sample size for all the given populations is approximately 384.
