STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT SAMPLE SIZE OF
RESPONDENTS
• Each barangay achieves the desired sample size of 50 with the calculated margin of error
using Slovin’s formula. This formula helps researchers estimate an appropriate sample
size to ensure their study results are statistically significant and representative of the
broader population.
• It’s crucial to note that while Slovin’s Formula is widely used, it assumes a simple
random sampling technique, and the desired margin of error should be determined based
on the precision level required this study.
