Re: Conficence Level Formula



I have this formula in Excel that is used to
determine the sample size
needed to get a certain confidence level.

DOV = Degree of Variance
POP = Population Size
INTERVAL = Size of Interval
CONF = Confidence Level
INITSAMP = Sample Size

INITSAMP=
((DOV*(1-DOV)*POP)+(((INTERVAL/CONF)^2)*(POP-1)))/((DO
V*(1-
DOV))+(((INTERVAL/CONF)^2)*(POP-1)))

How do I redo this formula to solve for CONF?

Thanks in advance,
Laura



CONF = INTERVAL*Sqrt[{(POP-1)*(1+DOV*(1-DOV))}/{(INITSAMP-DOV*(1-DOV)*POP)*DOV*(1-DOV)}]
