This is a statistical sample size calculator that can be used to try to determine the sample size needed for our study. For example, if we decide to use a library with 2,000,000 titles as the basis for our study, and we want a confidence interval of 2 (meaning we are fairly sure that a title we choose would be included in the included) our sample size should be 2398. A lower number for the confidence interval increases the sample size, and a higher number for the confidence interval decreases the sample size.
