چکیده
The determination of the required sample size is always an important step during planning quality research for a quantitative study. researchers need to have sound prerequisite knowledge inferential statistics concept determining minimum requirement and its estimation because insufficient may not be able answer questions large wastage resources, add complexity, take more time Both situations are ethically unacceptable researchers. Therefore, this study provides with appropriate methods Google Scholar, PubMed, Library Genesis were used find out information review paper. This presents calculation formula in simplified manner relevant examples so that effectively use them their research.
