Correction Matrix for Research Design

The document is a correction matrix for a research paper on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices around contraception among undergraduate students. It provides corrections to the tense (from future to past), wording (data was instead of will be), and calculations for determining the minimum sample size using the Fisher's statistical formula. The sample size was recalculated as 99 respondents instead of 436.
