Table 1. Sample Size for Frequency in a Population (from OpenEpi, Version 3, open source calculator—SSPropor).
Sample Size for Frequency in a Population | |
Population size(for finite population correction factor or fpc)(N): | 1300 |
Hypothesized % frequency of outcome factor in the population (p): | 50%+/-5 |
Confidence limits as % of 100(absolute +/- %)(d): | 5% |
Design effect (for cluster surveys-DEFF): | 1 |
Sample Size(n) for Various Confidence Levels | |
Confidence Level (%) | Sample Size |
90% | 225 |
95% | 297 |
99% | 440 |
Equation | |
Sample size n = [DEFF*Np(1-p)]/ [(d2/Z21-α/2*(N-1)+p*(1-p)] |
