He also realized that during the year that followed (2016), blood samples were taken from
10,000 randomly selected persons. The result of the 2016 seasonal blood survey showed
that 200 persons were positive for malaria. Help the Health officer in testing the hypothesis
that the malaria situation of 2016 did not show any significant difference from that of 2015
(take the 5% level of significance).

Definition Definition Number of subjects or observations included in a study. A large sample size typically provides more reliable results and better representation of the population. As sample size and width of confidence interval are inversely related, if the sample size is increased, the width of the confidence interval decreases.
