  4. Definitions and Symbols • Parameter: A parameter is a summary description of a fixed characteristic or measure of the target population.A parameter denotes the true value which would be obtained if a census rather than a sample was undertaken. • Statistic: A statistic is a summary description of a characteristic or measure of the sample. The sample statistic is used as an estimate of the population parameter. • Random sampling error: The error when the sample selected is an imperfect representation of the population of interest.

  5. Definitions and Symbols • Precision level: When estimating a population parameter by using a sample statistic, the precision level is the desired size of the estimating interval. This is the maximum permissible difference between the sample statistic and the population parameter. • Confidence interval: The confidence interval is the range into which the true population parameter will fall, assuming a given level of confidence. • Confidence level: The confidence level is the probability that a confidence interval will include the population parameter.

  10. The Confidence Interval Approach The confidence interval is given by We can now set a 95% confidence interval around the sample mean of $182. The 95% confidence interval is given by + 1.96 = 182.00 + 1.96(3.18) = 182.00 + 6.23 Thus the 95% confidence interval ranges from $175.77 to $188.23.

  14. A sample size of 400 is enough to represent China’s more than 1.3 billion people or the more than 300 million American people. The sample size is independent of the population size for large populations.

  15. Adjusting the Statistically Determined Sample Size Incidence rate refers to the rate of occurrence or the percentage of persons eligible to participate in the study. In general, if there are c qualifying factors with an incidence of Q1, Q2, Q3, ...QC, each expressed as a proportion, Incidence rate = Q1 x Q2 x Q3....x QC Initial sample size = Final sample size Incidence rate x Completion rate
