Sample Size Determination for Proportion
Estimate of True Proportion* = 0.50
Sampling Error = 0.05
Confidence Level = 95.00% Sample Size Needed = 385
Z Value -1.9599639845
Calculated Sample Size 384.1458820694
Finite Population Size = 500 Sample Size Needed = 218
Calculated Sample Size 217.4872180626
*Use .50 for the "estimate of true proportion" when unknown.
Sample Size Determination for Mean
Population Standard Deviation = 100
Sampling Error = 25

Use .50 for the "estimate of true proportion" when unknown.
Use this if the population size is known. It will not impact the results unless it is relatively small.
Use this if the population size is known. It will not impact the results unless it is relatively small.
This is the minimal sample needed to assure the resulting confidence interval will be no larger than the sampling error.
This is the minimal sample needed to assure the resulting confidence interval will be no larger than the sampling error.
Input the maximum size of the confidence interval; in other words, you want to be X% confident that the true population proportion deviates from the sample proportion by no more than this.
Input the maximum size of the confidence interval; in other words, you want to be X% confident that the true mean deviates from the sample mean by no more than this.
Input the level of confidence that you want to assure the population mean deviates by no more than the sampling error.
