About Sample Size and Margin of Error
Sample size and margin of error are fundamental concepts in statistics that help ensure the reliability and accuracy of survey results and research studies.
Key Concepts:
- • Sample Size: Number of observations needed for statistical significance
- • Margin of Error: Maximum difference between sample and population
- • Confidence Level: Probability that results are accurate
- • Population Proportion: Expected percentage with characteristic
Common Confidence Levels:
Applications:
- • Market research surveys
- • Political polling
- • Medical studies
- • Quality control
- • Social science research
- • Customer satisfaction surveys
Tips:
- • Use 50% proportion when uncertain
- • Larger sample = smaller margin of error
- • Consider finite population correction for small populations
- • Balance accuracy needs with practical constraints
- • Higher confidence levels require more samples
