  • Q5
    If you have a population size of 10,000 and you require a margin of error of 0.02, how would you calculate the sample size using Slovin's formula?
    n = rac{10000}{1 + 10000(0.1)^2}
    n = rac{10000}{1 + 10000(0.01)^2}
    n = rac{10000}{1 + 10000(0.05)^2}
    n = rac{10000}{1 + 10000(0.02)^2}

  • Q8
    How does an increase in the margin of error affect the sample size calculated by Slovin's formula?
    Decreases the sample size
    Increases the sample size
    Has no effect on the sample size
    Creates an infinite sample size

  • Q10
    When using Slovin's formula, what impact does increasing the population size have on the sample size, keeping the margin of error constant?
    Creates an infinite sample size
    Has no effect on the sample size
    Increases the sample size
    Decreases the sample size
