Bias, Estimation, Population, SampleAbstract
The basics of sample size estimation process are described. Assuming the normal distribution, the procedures for estimation of sample size for the mean; with and without knowledge of the population variance, and population proportion are noted. Sample size for more than one population feature is also given.
