After understanding the sampling process and sampling techniques, you need to know the sample size for your study. I will explain the various formulas/methods used for calculating sample size.
Determining an appropriate sample size is vital in drawing realistic conclusions from research findings. Although there are several widely adopted rules of thumb to calculate sample size, researchers remain unclear about which one to consider when determining sample size in their respective studies.

 The following resources to explain the calculation of sample size
