and e = Margin of error (MoE), e = 0.05 based
on the research condition.

Let’s assume that the population is 10,000. At

5% MoE., the sample size would be:

In a finite population, when the original sample

collected is more than 5% of the population size,
the corrected sample size is determined by using
the Yamane’s formula.

In the example above, 5% of 10,000 is 500 and

hence the corrected size is 385 although for
research purposes, even 385 is a big number (for
handling and collection point of view) and the
researcher has to make a decision to collect even
smaller number in order of ease of handling,
costing but he has to ensure that the sample is
representative.
