3.4 DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE SIZE
In order to get representation of the entire population the
Taro Yamani statistical formula was employed. According to
Taro Yamane (1964) the formula is stated as follows:
N
n= 2
1+ N
Where
n = represents the sample size
N = represents the population
e = represents the margin of error
I = constant
For the purpose of this study, N will be equal to 311, e will
be assumed to be 5%.
Therefore the sample size for this research work will be
5%
100
n= 2
1+100 (0.05)
