In statistics, information is often inferred about a population by studying a finite number of individuals from that population, i.e. the population is sampled, and it is assumed that characteristics of the sample are representative of the overall population. For the following, it is assumed that there is a population of individuals where some proportion, p , of the population is distinguishable from the other 1-p in some way; e.g., p may be the proportion of individuals who have brown hair, while the remaining 1-p have black, blond, red, etc. Thus, to estimate p in the population, a sample of n individuals could be taken from the population, and the sample proportion, p̂ , calculated for sampled individuals who have brown hair. Unfortunately, unless the full population is sampled, the estimate p̂ most likely won't equal the true value p , since p̂ suffers from sampling noise, i.e. it depends on the particular individuals that were sampled. However, sampling statistics can be used to calculate what are called confidence intervals, which are an indication of how close the estimate p̂ is to the true value p .

Statistics of a Random Sample

The uncertainty in a given random sample (namely that is expected that the proportion estimate, p̂ , is a good, but not perfect, approximation for the true proportion p ) can be summarized by saying that the estimate p̂ is normally distributed with mean p and variance p(1-p)/n . For an explanation of why the sample estimate is normally distributed, study the Central Limit Theorem . As defined below, confidence level, confidence intervals, and sample sizes are all calculated with respect to this sampling distribution. In short, the confidence interval gives an interval around p in which an estimate p̂ is "likely" to be. The confidence level gives just how "likely" this is – e.g., a 95% confidence level indicates that it is expected that an estimate p̂ lies in the confidence interval for 95% of the random samples that could be taken. The confidence interval depends on the sample size, n (the variance of the sample distribution is inversely proportional to n , meaning that the estimate gets closer to the true proportion as n increases); thus, an acceptable error rate in the estimate can also be set, called the margin of error, ε , and solved for the sample size required for the chosen confidence interval to be smaller than e ; a calculation known as "sample size calculation."

Confidence Level

The confidence level is a measure of certainty regarding how accurately a sample reflects the population being studied within a chosen confidence interval. The most commonly used confidence levels are 90%, 95%, and 99%, which each have their own corresponding z-scores (which can be found using an equation or widely available tables like the one provided below) based on the chosen confidence level. Note that using z-scores assumes that the sampling distribution is normally distributed, as described above in "Statistics of a Random Sample." Given that an experiment or survey is repeated many times, the confidence level essentially indicates the percentage of the time that the resulting interval found from repeated tests will contain the true result.

Confidence Levelz-score (±)
0.701.04
0.751.15
0.801.28
0.851.44
0.921.75

0.982.33
0.992.58
0.9993.29
0.99993.89
0.999994.42

Confidence Interval

In statistics, a confidence interval is an estimated range of likely values for a population parameter, for example, 40 ± 2 or 40 ± 5%. Taking the commonly used 95% confidence level as an example, if the same population were sampled multiple times, and interval estimates made on each occasion, in approximately 95% of the cases, the true population parameter would be contained within the interval. Note that the 95% probability refers to the reliability of the estimation procedure and not to a specific interval. Once an interval is calculated, it either contains or does not contain the population parameter of interest. Some factors that affect the width of a confidence interval include: size of the sample, confidence level, and variability within the sample.

There are different equations that can be used to calculate confidence intervals depending on factors such as whether the standard deviation is known or smaller samples (n<30) are involved, among others. The calculator provided on this page calculates the confidence interval for a proportion and uses the following equations:

confidence interval equations

where is z score
is the population proportion
and are sample size
is the population size

Within statistics, a population is a set of events or elements that have some relevance regarding a given question or experiment. It can refer to an existing group of objects, systems, or even a hypothetical group of objects. Most commonly, however, population is used to refer to a group of people, whether they are the number of employees in a company, number of people within a certain age group of some geographic area, or number of students in a university's library at any given time.

It is important to note that the equation needs to be adjusted when considering a finite population, as shown above. The (N-n)/(N-1) term in the finite population equation is referred to as the finite population correction factor, and is necessary because it cannot be assumed that all individuals in a sample are independent. For example, if the study population involves 10 people in a room with ages ranging from 1 to 100, and one of those chosen has an age of 100, the next person chosen is more likely to have a lower age. The finite population correction factor accounts for factors such as these. Refer below for an example of calculating a confidence interval with an unlimited population.

EX: Given that 120 people work at Company Q, 85 of which drink coffee daily, find the 99% confidence interval of the true proportion of people who drink coffee at Company Q on a daily basis.

Sample Size Calculation

Sample size is a statistical concept that involves determining the number of observations or replicates (the repetition of an experimental condition used to estimate the variability of a phenomenon) that should be included in a statistical sample. It is an important aspect of any empirical study requiring that inferences be made about a population based on a sample. Essentially, sample sizes are used to represent parts of a population chosen for any given survey or experiment. To carry out this calculation, set the margin of error, ε , or the maximum distance desired for the sample estimate to deviate from the true value. To do this, use the confidence interval equation above, but set the term to the right of the ± sign equal to the margin of error, and solve for the resulting equation for sample size, n . The equation for calculating sample size is shown below.

sample size equations

where is the z score
is the margin of error
is the population size
is the population proportion

EX: Determine the sample size necessary to estimate the proportion of people shopping at a supermarket in the U.S. that identify as vegan with 95% confidence, and a margin of error of 5%. Assume a population proportion of 0.5, and unlimited population size. Remember that z for a 95% confidence level is 1.96. Refer to the table provided in the confidence level section for z scores of a range of confidence levels.

sample size example

Thus, for the case above, a sample size of at least 385 people would be necessary. In the above example, some studies estimate that approximately 6% of the U.S. population identify as vegan, so rather than assuming 0.5 for p̂ , 0.06 would be used. If it was known that 40 out of 500 people that entered a particular supermarket on a given day were vegan, p̂ would then be 0.08.

This free interactive web-based sample size calculator can be used to understand the relationship between number of samples, variation in indicators and confidence in survey results.

Sample Size Calculator

Do you know how many people have to answer your survey no problem. use our sample size calculator to know the exact number of surveys to run in your study..

Whenever you’re running and planning a research study, there’s nothing as important as knowing the exact number of surveys that you need for the study to be considered valid research material. This is when we need to know what’s the best way to you’ll be able to determine the sample size for your research.

We’re lovers of technology and automation here at QuesionPro. This is why we’ve created a simple sample calculator, so that just a few clicks away, determine the exact number of surveys to run.

If you’d like to know a bit more about how to use this sample calculator, please read the following part, and you’ll become an expert in Sample Calculation.

Sample size calculator for your research

With this calculator, you’ll be able to quickly and effectively measure the sample size of your next research. Surely, using it will allow you to save a lot of time. Take the most advantage out of it and use it whenever needed.

Confidence Level:
Margin of Error:
Population:

Confidence Level : Indicates the degree of confidence that the data is representative of the entire population.

Margin of Error : It is the percentage of error that may exist in your sample . The larger the margin of error, the lower the confidence level of the results.

Population : Total number of people your universe represents.

How to use our sample calculator?

Using our calculator is fairly easy. However, we’d like to share the following tips and notes for you to fully understand the entire process behind this useful, nearly magical tool.

How to use sample size calculator

Steps to use our sample size calculator

  • Choose your preferred confidence level. The most common one is 95%.
  • Introduce the percentage of the error margin you would like to use. The most common one is 5%. Include only the number, no need to add the “%”.
  • Set the total population for your study.
  • Click on Calculate, and there you go! The result will show in the box below.

Remember that the sample will be representative because it will have the right margin and confidence level, so follow the following suggestions:

  • Determine the confidence level you would like to obtain. That’s the degree of certainty (or probability) in terms of percentage with which it is pretended to estimate a parameter through a sample statistic. The most effective and common confidence level is 95%.
  • Select the margin of sampling error, which is an indicator of the reliability of the study and the accuracy of your outcomes. The margin of error is put as a percentage that indicates how the outcomes are within an approximate percentage of the values obtained. It’s often 5% or less.
  • Set the total population, you can take help from official data of your community, or an approximate number. For instance, Bogotá, Colombia, has 7743955 inhabitants according to the 2018 census.

If you set the sample calculator to a confidence level of 95%, an error margin of 5%, and a total population of 7743955, the sample size would be 385. Now let’s break these concepts down a bit more:

The margin of error or confidence interval

The margin of error , also called confidence interval , is the negative or positive number that is generally reported in the outcome of a survey.

For example, if you set the margin of error to 4 and 47% of your sample picks an answer, you can be certain that if you had formulated the question to the entire population, from 43% (47% - 4) to 51% (47% + 4) would have chosen that answer.

To facilitate this process, you can too use our margin of error calculator.

Confidence level

The confidence level is how frequently the real percentage of the population would choose a specific answer. A confidence level of 95% means you can be 95% certain; a confidence level of 99% means you can be 99% certain. Most researchers use a 95% confidence level.

For instance, if you ask a sample of 1000 people in a city what are their preferences in terms of soda, and 60% claim it’s Brand A, you can be certain that 40% - 80% of people in the city prefer that brand, but you can’t be that certain that 59% - 61% of the people in the city prefer that brand.

Three factors help determine the confidence of your research:

Sample size

Percentage or variability, total population.

The greater the sample size, the more certain one can be that the responses represent the population. This means that for a determined confidence level, the bigger the sample, the smaller the margin of error (or confidence interval).

Nonetheless, this relationship is not linear. In other words, doubling the sample size, will not reduce at half the margin of error.

The accuracy also depends on the percentage of the sample that picks a response in particular. If 99% of your sample said “Yes” and 1% “No”, the probability of an error is remote, regardless of the sample size. However, if percentages are 51% and 49% respectively, the likelihood of an error is broader.

Determining the sample size for a determined accuracy level, you must use the worst possible percentage (50%). Also, you must use this percentage when determining a general level of accuracy for a given sample.

To determine the margin of error for a specific response in your sample, you can use the percentage by picking that answer and obtaining a narrower interval.

In research, it’s common to go for the maximum variability option, especially when there are no backgrounds for a subject. For these cases a standard value of p=q=0.5 or 50%.

It’s unlikely to know the exact size of a specific population. However, it is not an issue.

The mathematical probabilities show us that the total population is irrelevant unless the sample size exceeds a small percentage of the total population you’re researching.

This means that a sample of 500 people is just as useful to research a state of 15,000,000 or a city of 100,000.

The calculation of the confidence interval infers that you have a random and confident population sample.

If your sample is not truly random, you cannot trust those intervals. Samples that are not random are usually a result of an error or limitation in the sampling procedure.

An example of this error would be calling people to their homes during the day, and put aside anyone who’s not at home (like most workers in the world). You cannot assume that non-workers (or home-workers) represent accurately an entire population.

Sample calculator formula

Although it may seem like magic, behind our sample size calculator there is a methodology that validates the sample calculation. For this one, we rely on the following formula:

Sample size = Z2 * (p) * (1-p) / c2

  • Z = confidence level ( 95% or 99%)
  • c = Margin of error ( .04 = ±4%)

Tips for a proper calculation of the sample size

Here you can find a few suggestions to determine the sample size in your next research:

Tips for calculating the sample size

Best practices when calculating the sample size

  • If your population is small, run a census.
  • Look for previous posts to find out whether similar studies to yours already exist.
  • Look for a reference chart for the sample size of your study.
  • Use a sample size calculator like QuestionPro’s.

Importance of calculating the sample size

Samples can offer data that allow inferring over the entire population. It’s through compiled data that researchers may get findings of a population.

Other reasons why it’s important to calculate the sample size, are the following:

  • The two main factors that affect the utility and efficacy of a study are the sample size, and the effect size.
  • A study must only be run once. There is a real possibility that its outcomes will provide useful information.
  • A study that has a sample size too small may produce inconclusive outcomes and may also be considered unethical by exposing subjects to unnecessary risks.
  • A study too big will be a waste of resources and may expose more subjects than needed to any related risks.

In summary, the sample size calculation is a very important process within any research project. It must be run during the planning phase of the study, based on the question types and the research design.

It’s also advisable to count with a sample size calculator such as QuestionPro’s for help, to avoid errors when trying to determine the percentage of the population to be researched.

We hope this sample size calculator comes in handy to collect the necessary data that assures success for your research project.

How many people do you need to talk to to get a margin of error you are comfortable with? Consult our handy calculator and find out!

Listed below are few terms you will need to understand before using the sample size calculator:

Confidence Level: The percentage value that tells how confident a researcher can be about being correct. A 95% confidence level is a generally acceptable level of confidence and is most typically used and accepted within the research industry. Which means that if a study were conducted 100 times, answers would be within the margin of error 95 out of 100 times.

Margin of Error / Confidence Interval: Assumes that you have a random sample. The margin of error for a typical survey is +/- 5%. This means that results may vary as much as five percent in either direction. The margin of error for sub-samples (i.e. men versus women), is based on the number in that sub-sample.

Population Size: The population size is the universe from which you are taking your sample. If the population size is very large or unknown, leave this field blank.

DIRECTIONS:

  • Choose a confidence level
  • Enter an acceptable margin of error (between .1 and 50 – leave off % sign)
  • Enter population (if known) Click on “calculate”
  • This calculator requires Internet Explorer 3.0 or later or Netscape 3.0 or later or a compatible browser. Leave the population box blank, if the population is very large or unknown.

How to Calculate Sample Sizes for Research Studies

In the realm of research, where knowledge is the ultimate treasure, the quest for the right sample size is a critical step on the path to discovery. Determining how many participants or data points to include in a study is not a mere guess; it is a calculated decision with far-reaching implications for the validity and generalizability of your findings. This comprehensive guide will delve into the intricacies of sample size calculation, illuminating the factors at play, the methods employed, and the practical considerations that researchers must navigate.

The Significance of Sample Size

The sample size in a research study is akin to a lens through which you observe a larger population. If the lens is too small, your view will be limited and distorted. If it is too large, the cost and effort of data collection might outweigh the benefits. The right sample size strikes a balance, allowing you to capture the essence of the population with a reasonable degree of precision and confidence.

The Perils of an Inadequate Sample Size

An inadequate sample size can undermine the entire research endeavor. It can lead to:

  • Low Statistical Power: The ability to detect a true effect if it exists. With a small sample, even a meaningful difference might be obscured by random variation.
  • Inaccurate Estimates: The sample might not be representative of the population, leading to biased or misleading results.

Difficulty in Generalizing: Findings might not be applicable to the broader population, limiting their impact and significance.

The Price of an Overly Large Sample Size

While a larger sample generally provides more precise estimates, it comes with its own drawbacks:

  • Increased Costs: Data collection, analysis, and management become more expensive and time-consuming.

Ethical Concerns: Exposing more participants to potential risks or inconveniences without a clear benefit.

Diminishing Returns: Beyond a certain point, the gains in precision from a larger sample become negligible.

Factors Influencing Sample Size

The ideal sample size is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. It depends on a constellation of factors, each requiring careful consideration:

  • Research Design: The type of study (experimental, observational, survey, etc.), the number of groups or variables, and the complexity of the analysis influence the required sample size.

Effect Size: The magnitude of the difference or relationship you expect to find. A larger effect size can be detected with a smaller sample.

Significance Level: The probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis (Type I error). Typically set at 0.05, it represents the acceptable risk of a false positive.

Power: The probability of detecting a true effect if it exists. Typically set at 0.80 or higher, it represents the desired sensitivity of the study.

Variability: The degree of heterogeneity within the population. A more diverse population requires a larger sample to capture its nuances.

Practical Constraints: Budget, time, availability of participants, and logistical limitations can influence the feasible sample size.

Methods for Sample Size Calculation

Several methods and tools are available for calculating sample sizes. The choice depends on the specific research design and the statistical tests to be employed. Here are some common approaches:

  • Power Analysis: This statistical method estimates the required sample size to achieve a desired level of power for a specific effect size and significance level. It is widely used in experimental and quasi-experimental studies.

Confidence Interval Approach: This method determines the sample size needed to estimate a population parameter (e.g., mean, proportion) with a specified level of confidence and margin of error.

Formula-Based Approaches: Specific formulas are available for different types of studies, such as comparing means, proportions, or correlations. These formulas often involve parameters like standard deviation, effect size, and desired precision.

Sample Size Calculators: Many online calculators and software packages simplify the process of sample size estimation by providing user-friendly interfaces and pre-programmed formulas.

Examples of Sample Size Calculations

Let’s explore a few examples to illustrate how sample size calculations are applied in practice:

Example 1: Comparing Two Means

Suppose you are conducting a randomized controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of two drugs in lowering blood pressure. You want to detect a mean difference of 5 mmHg with a power of 0.80 and a significance level of 0.05. Assuming a standard deviation of 10 mmHg, a power analysis would reveal that you need approximately 64 participants per group.

Example 2: Estimating a Population Proportion

Imagine you are conducting a survey to estimate the proportion of people in a city who support a new policy. You want to achieve a margin of error of 3% with a 95% confidence level. Using the confidence interval approach, you would find that you need a sample size of around 1068 participants.

Example 3: Correlation Analysis

Suppose you are investigating the relationship between hours of study and exam scores. You expect a moderate correlation (r = 0.30) and want to detect it with a power of 0.80 and a significance level of 0.05. A formula-based approach or a sample size calculator would indicate that you need a sample size of approximately 85 participants.

Practical Considerations and Tips

Beyond the theoretical calculations, several practical aspects warrant attention:

  • Pilot Studies: Conducting a small-scale pilot study can help refine the research design, estimate effect sizes, and inform the sample size calculation for the main study.

Response Rates: Anticipate non-response or attrition, especially in longitudinal studies. Inflating the initial sample size can help ensure a sufficient final sample.

Subgroup Analysis: If you plan to analyze subgroups within the sample, ensure that each subgroup has a sufficient sample size for meaningful comparisons.

Expert Consultation: Seek guidance from a statistician or experienced researcher to ensure the appropriateness of the chosen methods and the accuracy of the calculations.

The quest for the right sample size is a journey of balancing precision, practicality, and the pursuit of knowledge. By understanding the factors at play, employing appropriate methods, and considering practical constraints, researchers can navigate this journey with confidence, ensuring that their studies are equipped to uncover meaningful insights and contribute to the ever-evolving tapestry of human understanding. Remember, the sample size is not merely a number; it is a gateway to unlocking the secrets hidden within the vast expanse of data.
