each strata in the population.
 Sample Size
Sample Size refers to the number of items to be selected
from the universe to constitute a sample. . The sample size for
the present study is determined based on the following
formula.
s = X 2NP(1 P) d 2 (N 1) + X 2P(1 P).
S=320
s = required sample size.
X2 = the table value of chi-square for 1 degree of freedom at the desired
confidence level
(3.841).
N = the population size.
P = the population proportion (assumed to be .50 since this would provide the
maximum
sample size).
d = the degree of accuracy expressed as a proportion (.05).
