Sample Size

Package to determine the correct sample size for a survey

What is Sample Size?

Every survey needs an ideal number of responses according to the survey’s target audience. This is where a statistical calculation that determines the desired sample size comes in.

The calculation is based on three important variables: population size, confiability rate and margin of error.

• N: The population size
• z: Score calculated from the confiability rate
• e: Margin of error
• p: Constant, generally 0.5
