Is there any short-cut method that not only helps in finding the actual sample size but also justifies it?
thanks
Hello Mirza RAZI IMAM Baig
What is your study? what are you going to do
The answer to this question is very important in finding a solution.
As I understood from your question that you have different study area and you want to take each population from sample. Then first cluster them by using cluster sampling then if your sample are different use stratified sampling and proportion Allocation. So you can take each of them from the sample.
I think you have to minimize your target population. Purposively select a portion of your population. Select that from random sampling.
Hello mirza! You can first divide your study area into different clusters having similar attributes after that you can apply slovin's formula to get the exact sample size of the households.
Please zoom in according the your research question/s and objective. That many sample is an assest for researchers however, if we analyse unless necessary, we will not find substantial findings. Therefore, please reflect and ask yourself what you need to find first. Then probably you can go for appropriate sampling techniques etc. Thank you.
