Sample Size Calculator for Estimation of Population Mean and
Proportion under SRS
Description
It helps in determination of sample size for estimation of population mean and proportion based upon the availability of prior information on coefficient of variation (CV) of the population under Simple Random Sampling (SRS) with or without replacement sampling design. If there is no prior information on the population CV, then a small preliminary sample of size is selected to estimate the population CV which is then used for determination of final sample size. If the final sample size is more than the preliminary sample size, then the preliminary sample is augmented by drawing additional units from the remaining population units so that the size of the augmented sample is equal to the final sample size. On the other hand, if the preliminary sample size is larger than the final sample size, then the preliminary sample is considered as the final sample.
