How to calculate sample size and margin of error

In this tutorial I show the relationship between sample size and margin of error. I calculate the margin of error and confidence interval using three different sample sizes. As the sample size increases the margin of error goes down.

    Why is the title "how to calculate sample size" when you had already found it in a previous video? that's why i clicked on this video so I could learn how to find the sample size. this was not helpful.

    Great video! Way better than my stats professor! I like how you put everything in a table and color coordinated it so it was very easy to follow along!

    Ya know you are right! I did not realize that. I changed the title to "How to understand the relationship between sample size and margin of error" I did include links to how to calculate sample size in the video description. Thanks for the feedback because I am always trying to improve the navigation in KZread.

    @statistics for fun, In correlation work, when the sample size decreases, does the size of the correlation that is needed to reach statistical significance; increase, decrease or stay the same?

    I completley understand you. what is a suitable sample size to fit criteria is n=30 enough? where is the critical sample size where my research is affected.

    how did you get 1.96 to use in the calculation for margin of error, and what does 1.96 stand for?

    1.96 is the z score for a 95% confidence level.

  • @Applecheria

    That's exactly what I was trying to find out. Determining the sample size. Use the given data to find the minimum sample size required to estimate a population proportion or percentage. Margin of error: two percentage points, Confidence Level: 99%; P hat is estimated by the decimal equivalent of 14%

    What is the margin of error for predicting an outcome if my sample size is .00000005%? It seems like this should be much easier to calculate than what is going on here.

    In order to get the Z-score (1.96) I used the Excel function =-NORM.S.INV(0.025). you get the 0.025 from 95%. There will be 0.025 tailing on each end totaling to 5%. in other words it is (1-.95)/2. (the .95 comes from your confidence Interval.) there are dozens of online calcs that can give you the Z- value, becuase it is all based on the probability that you choose.
