However, there are a number of practical issues in selecting values for the parameters required in the formula. Several practical issues are addressed and appropriate recommendations are given. The paper also suggests the application of a software calculator that checks the normal approximation assumption and incorporates finite population correction in the sample size calculation.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Q Science, Computer Science</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">R Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2006</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>School of Dental Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Journal</mods:genre></mets:xmlData></mets:mdWrap></mets:dmdSec><mets:amdSec ID="TMD_oai:myais.fsktm.um.edu.my:1536"><mets:rightsMD ID="rights_oai:myais.fsktm.um.edu.my:1536_mods"><mets:mdWrap MDTYPE="mods"><mets:xmlData><mods:useAndReproduction>
