FINDING THE SAMPLE SIZE
Given are 1,000 students, from different
courses:
400 Business students
300 Engineering students
200 Education students
100 IT students
FINDING THE SAMPLE SIZE
FINDING THE SAMPLE SIZE
Find the proportion using ratio of the total
sample size (n = 286) is determined using
Slovin’s formula and the population size (N).
FINDING THE SAMPLE SIZE
Now multiply each group’s population by
0.286:
FINDING THE SAMPLE SIZE
✅ So the stratified random sample is:
114 Business students
86 Engineering students
57 Education students
29 IT students
Within each stratum, select respondents
randomly (e.g., simple random or systematic
sampling from each course list).
