To compute the sample size for the given populations, we can use the formula for sample size

determination. The formula for sample size (n is:


N = N / (1 + N(e^2))
Where:
- N = sample size
- N = population size
- E = margin of error (expressed as a decimal)
Let’s calculate the sample size for each population using a margin of error of 5% (0.05) for a
95% confidence level.
#### Sample Size Calculation
1. For 250 Academic Strand Students:
- N = 250
- Using e = 0.05
- N = 250 / (1 + 250(0.05^2))
- N = 250 / (1 + 250(0.0025))
- N = 250 / (1 + 0.625)
- N = 250 / 1.625
- N ≈ 153.85
Therefore, the recommended sample size for 250 Academic Strand Students is approximately
154.
2. For 418 Grade 11 Students:
- N = 418
- Using e = 0.05
- N = 418 / (1 + 418(0.05^2))
- N = 418 / (1 + 418(0.0025))
- N = 418 / (1 + 1.045)
- N = 418 / 2.045
- N ≈ 204.38
Therefore, the recommended sample size for 418 Grade 11 Students is approximately 204.

3. For 686 Grade 12 Students:


- N = 686
- Using e = 0.05
- N = 686 / (1 + 686(0.05^2))
- N = 686 / (1 + 686(0.0025))
- N = 686 / (1 + 1.715)
- N = 686 / 2.715
- N ≈ 252.95
Therefore, the recommended sample size for 686 Grade 12 Students is approximately 253.

4. For 1104 SHS Students:


- N = 1104
- Using e = 0.05
- N = 1104 / (1 + 1104(0.05^2))
- N = 1104 / (1 + 1104(0.0025))
- N = 1104 / (1 + 2.76)
- N = 1104 / 3.76
- N ≈ 293.62
Therefore, the recommended sample size for 1104 SHS Students is approximately 294.
5. For 238 Grade 12 TVL Students:
- N = 238
- Using e = 0.05
- N = 238 / (1 + 238(0.05^2))
- N = 238 / (1 + 238(0.0025))
- N = 238 / (1 + 0.595)
- N = 238 / 1.595
- N ≈ 149.22

Therefore, the recommended sample size for 238 Grade 12 TVL Students is approximately
149.
