It is estimated that 5 000 are residents of the Mdantsane area, and there are some 467 people visiting Mdantsane, Gcuwa, and Dutywa for business and other errands. It is also established that 235 of the residents are commercial farmers, 1 856 are small-scale farmers and the rest are subsistent farmers. In reference to the Topicabove:

a) What would be your research population?

b) Where your sample size is 600; calculate and distribute the sample using proportional stratified sampling.

2) Using the formula by Yamane (1967) where:

n = sample size

1 = Constant

N = Population

e = level of precision.

What would be the respective sample for a population of 5 000, and where the precision level/margin of error is 0.05?
