Example
You are investigating the level of awareness of CMNS students in CSU towards the accessibility law or the BP 344. Three (3) programs were used
as the target populations, namely; BS Math ( , BS Bio ( , and BS Chem ( Since no data are available on the proportion
of CMNS students knowledgeable, you take the worst case scenario and set p = 0.5 (and therefore q = 1-0.5 = 0.5). As this is a preliminary study
you are prepared to accept a margin of error of 5% so you set d = 0.05. How many students per program should you get for your sample?
