Sampling Technique
In determining the sample size for this study titled "Assessment and
Profiling of Agusan Del Sur Feed Milling Facilities," the researchers employed a
formula that accounts for various factors such as the population size, desired
level of confidence, and margin of error. One commonly used formula for
calculating sample size in a population survey is the Slovin’s formula:
Equation 1
N
n= 2
1+ N e
Where:
n = required sample size
N = total population size
e= margin of error
∑ Xi
Mean= i=1
n
Where:
Equation 2
n
s=√ ∑ ¿ ¿ ¿
i=1
Where:
X̄ = sample mean.
Xi =individual observation.
Where:
Oi = observed frequency.
Ei = expected frequency under the null hypothesis.
