One Sample Test Using Percentage Values
One-Tail Test (Hypothesis that Percentage is greater than some test value or Percentage is less than some test value, but not both)
Two-Tail Test (Hypothesis that Percentage is not equal to some test value)
To calculate the minimum possible statistical power, use a test value of 50% which produces the largest possible variance (also known as the "Most Pessimistic Variance Assumption").
Test Value (%):  (Value to compare the sample percentage to)
Sample (%):  Percentage (Value measured from sample or expected from sample)
Sample Size:  (Size of sample or desired number of respondents)
Alpha Error Level
or Confidence Level:
 
(Probability of incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the percentage values). An Alpha of 5% corresponds to a 95% Confidence Interval.
