Questions and Answers

What is the formula to calculate the required sample size?

n = (E^2 * Z^2) / ?^2 (correct)

n = Z^2 * ? / E

n = E / Z

n = Z / E

What is the Z-score for a 95% confidence level?

2.576

1.96 (correct)

1.645

0.025

If the population standard deviation is unknown, what should be done when estimating the sample size?

Use the Z-score as the standard deviation

Conduct a pilot study to get an idea of the variability (correct)

Ignore the standard deviation

Use the sample variance as the standard deviation
