    Sample Size Calculation

    Uploaded by

    This document outlines the calculation to determine the required sample size for a study using a 5-point Likert scale. It shows that the sample size is equal to the critical value (1.96 for 95% confidence) squared multiplied by the variance (0.66 for a 5-point Likert scale), divided by the margin of error squared (0.05). Plugging these values into the formula results in a required sample size of approximately 670 respondents.

    Sample Size based on Standard Deviation with 5 point Likert Scale

    Sample Size = Z2 x σ2
    E2
    = (1.96) 2 x (0.66) 2
    (0.05)2

    = 3.8416 x 0.4356
    0.0025

    = 1.6734
    0.0025

    = 669.36

    Total Sample Size for the Study is 670 Respondents.

    Z is the critical value of the Normal distribution (e.g. for a confidence level of 95%, α
    is 0.05 and the critical value is 1.96)
