| Sumario: | A study analyzed the probability of improved accuracy in parameter estimation caused by increases in sample size. Data were obtained from a sample size formula in respect of a range of scenarios to guarantee a certain level of improvement with a given probability. Findings revealed insights into sample size requirements and how they are connected to the parameters that determine the sampling process. Findings are discussed in detail. |
