Experiment Background
|
Statistics are used in research to draw inferences about the population through the statistical behavior of the sample. The role of the researcher is to decide the sample size such that the sample observations should represent the actual population observations. Sample size and sampling method play a major role in social sciences, agricultural research, and survey research. If the sample size is inappropriate it may lead to wrong inferences on the population. Precise sampling techniques are used for specific research problems because one technique may not be appropriate for all problems. Significant factors considered for the estimation of sample size are population size, confidence level, the proportion of outcome in case of categorical variables, standard deviation of the outcomes in case of ordinal variables, essential precision from the research. The present study will be conducted to provide an outline of commonly used techniques in the research and to find out the sample size precisely. |
