Sample size Calculation

The minimum sample size required is:

Z ∗p∗(1−p)

N=

E2
Where:

Z21−α/2 is the level of significance at 5% i.e., 95%


confidence interval = 1.96

P = Proportion of respondents aware about lung cancer = 52% = 0.52

E = Error of Margin = 5% = 0.05

N= 1.96 ×0.52×(1−0.52)

0.05

N = 383.54

N = 400. Ref. 11.
