Question What is the quality (c.v) of the
estimates for the proportion of girls aged 3 in
Newfoundland and Labrador at cycle 3? How many
will there be in cycle 4 and 5? Will the
quality suffer from the smaller sample size?
2
Click on the right arrow in Province to select a
province
3
Select Newfoundland and Labrador (Terre-Neuve)
4
Click to select C3 Age 3

Since the proportion of girls should be around
50, click on Prop. Cible and select 50.

You can now see that the c.v. for that particular
domain in cycle 3 was 17.5 with 44 children in
the sample. In cycle 5, we predict 35 children
will be left in sample (assuming 90 response
rate in cycle 4 and 5) and the c.v. will grow to
19.6.
