Sampling technique: Purposive sampling

Sample Size :

The estimation of sample size was calculated using the Slovin formula:

n = N / (1 + (N x e²))

n = sample N = population e = margin error (0.05)

n = 100/(1+100 x 0.0025) = 80

The sample will be divided into 3 groups (each group = 26.67 or 27).
