Based on the desired accuracy and reliability of the research results,we can determine a desired sample size by a formula.The desired sample size is adjusted (and we then speak of an adjusted n)when:
A)The sample size is greater than 1000 persons.
B)The sample size is greater than 50 percent of the population.
C)The sample size is greater than 1 percent of the population.

When the sample size is greater than 50 percent of the population, adjustments are often made to account for the diminishing returns of adding more samples and the increased likelihood of reaching most of the population. This is known as the finite population correction, which is applied to avoid overstating the precision of the study results when a large proportion of the population is sampled.
