LESSON 64 - RESEARCH METHODOLOGY || SECTION 3.4: TARGET POPULATION

Section 3.4 of the research proposal discusses the target population from which a sample will be drawn. Target population refers to the population that the researcher wishes to study and the results of the study will be generalized to them. This population is also referred to as accessible target population because it is from this population that we shall draw our sampling frame.
In this lesson, we shall:
a) Explain the meaning of target population;
b) Differentiate between target & accessible population;
c) Explain the requirements of section 3.4

Madam , what should be the percentage of institutions in accessible population from target population?

[@research-methods-class]

Percentages are not scientific. Use the formulae to determine your sample. Population is actual based on the people you are targeting

[@yohannesseifu8559]

hi do you know the actual Number of the population the Number is determined? during sample size

[@research-methods-class]

You must have the population for you to determine the sample size. However, if your population is I finite, then the sample size is 384. Check krejcie and morgan 1970 table of sampling

[@snashaayoub4799]

My question is that if the population of the study is infinite , the sample size is drawn from population or study population ?

[@research-methods-class]

If a population is infinite, the sample size should be 384. Check Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table of sample determination

[@TheTrendsWorldWide]

Do you guess the population ? Incase you are focusing on a bank, mainly targeting service quality. The target population is customers. How can you come up with the population ?

[@research-methods-class]

Population is either finite or infinite. For infinite population, the sample size is 384. Check krejcie and morgan table (1970) on Google
