This video tutorial explains how to calculate the sample size needed to estimate a population mean with a given margin of error and confidence level. It covers the relationship between sample size, margin of error, and confidence level, and provides examples of calculating sample sizes for different scenarios. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of rounding up to ensure the sample size is sufficient and discusses adjustments for different confidence levels.

What is the main focus of this video tutorial?

• Calculating the sample size for estimating population mean

• Calculating the sample size for estimating population variance

• Calculating the sample size for estimating population mode

• Calculating the sample size for estimating population median

What is the z-critical value at a 95% confidence level?

• 1.645

• 2.33

• 1.96

• 2.58

If the population standard deviation is known, what is the formula for the Margin of Error?

• z times σ over square root of n

• σ times square root of n over z

• z times n over σ

• n times z over σ

What happens to the Margin of Error as the sample size increases?

• It doubles

• It remains the same

• It decreases

• It increases

For a sample size of 40, what is the Margin of Error if the population standard deviation is 8?

• 2.22

• 2.02

• 2.48

• 3.00

Why do larger sample sizes produce smaller errors?

• Because they have more variability

• Because they are more reliable

• Because they are easier to calculate

• Because they are less reliable
