Hello,
I have a question about the random sampling size for bulk submission, using online calculators with confidence level of 99% and a margin of error 2%, it seems the sampling size is around 4000 sentences for 50000,100000 or a million sentence.
Is this accurate? I want to make sure I am not over doing it.
Regards,
Nart.
Yes.
These sample size calculations are good for large sets. For a small set, ex. 1000, the result will be 800… For large sets, e.g. 100.000 - 1 M, the difference will be small.
As the original process is based on 100k sentences (so a large number), that calculation is provided. I think, for smaller sets, e.g. 10k, two different random sets of (say) 5-10% should be more than enough… You would already cover 20-40% of the whole anyway.
80% (800 from 1000) is not a sample…
