I. Introduction
For this part, you may search it in the internet or use chatgpt but make sure to modify it. You
may include the following:
• Definition of smoking and its effect.
• Data or previous studies/researches regarding smoking.
II. Methodology (Sampling Technique)
Apply the lesson discussed under sampling technique. Choose one sampling technique that is
applicable in getting the 15 respondents, include the following:
• What is snowball sampling technique
o Include the definition of your chosen sampling technique
• Why use snowball sampling technique?
o Include the reasons/justification of choosing the said sampling technique
• How will you use snowball technique?
o Include the step-by-step procedure on how will you use snowball technique
III. Computation Part
REFER TO GIVEN: (Note that the given in this sample PETA is just a GUIDE and NOT
THE ACTUAL given in the PETA)
A. Population Mean
One of the few negative side effects of quitting smoking is weight gain. The data below shows the weight
gain (in pounds) of 10 respondents 12 months after quitting smoking. If the mean gain follows a normal
distribution with a standard deviation of 5 pounds, you are tasked to solve for the point estimation and
margin of error for a population mean given the weight gain of the 15 respondents at 90% confidence
level. 14 13 20 22 12 12 17 10 12 9
SOLUTION
A. Population Mean
1. Point estimation
14 + 13 + 20 + 22 + 12 + 12 + 17 + 10 + 12 + 9
x̅ = = 𝟏𝟒. 𝟏𝟎
10
2. Margin of error
• Find the t-score
• Df = 10 – 1 = 9
• 90% = 0.90
• 1 – 0.90 = 0.10 (two tail)
• 0.10 ÷ 2 = 0.05 (one tail)
• t score is 1.833
• Solve for the standard error
• n = 10 σ=5 CL = 90%

• σx = = 𝟏. 𝟓𝟖
√10
• Solve for the margin of error
• MOE = t ∙ σx = 1.833(1.58) = 𝟐. 𝟗𝟎
B. Population Proportion
In connection to the data given above, out of the 10 respondents who gained weight 12 months after
quitting smoking, 2 of them has the least weight gain (in pounds). If it follows a normal distribution with
a confidence level of 90%, you are tasked to solve for the point estimation and margin of error for the true
proportion of respondents that has the least weight gain (in pounds) 12 months after quitting smoking.

• 𝑝̂ = n = 10 = 𝟎. 𝟐𝟎 𝐨𝐫 𝟐𝟎%
• 𝑞̂ = 1 − 0.20 = 𝟎. 𝟖𝟎 𝒐𝒓 𝟖𝟎%
4. Margin of error
• Find the t-score
• Df = 10 – 1 = 9
• 90% = 0.90
• 1 – 0.90 = 0.10 (two tail)
• 0.10 ÷ 2 = 0.05 (one tail)
• t score is 1.833
• Solve for the standard error
• n = 10 𝑝̂ = 0.20 𝑞̂ = 0.80 CL = 90%
𝑝̂𝑞̂ (0.20)(0.80)
• σx𝑃 = √ 𝑛 = √ 10

• Solve for the margin of error
• MOE = t ∙ σx𝑃 = 1.833(0.13) = 𝟎. 𝟐𝟒
