Why is having a larger sample size be a better idea than having a small sample size when doing a experiment?
1. Better chance of uniform sample. 2. Material for confirmations if needed.
What is domain sampling in statistics?
It's a model for measuring reliability of measures of a construct. First you choose randomly a finite number of items from an infinite pool of items to measure the construct and then use it as a criterion to evaluate reliability of other chosen samples. The higher the correlation of the scores derived using any random sample with the score derived using the criterion sample, the higher the reliability of the random sample
Does the size of a sample affect the values of the frequency table?
Yes. If the sample is a random drawing from the population, then as the size increases, the relative frequency of each interval from the sample should be a better estimate of the relative frequency in the population. Now, in practical terms, increasing a small sample will have a larger effect than increasing a large sample. For example, increasing a sample from 10 to 100 will have a larger effect than increasing a sample from 1000 to 10,000. The one exception to this, that I can think of, is if the focus of the study is on a very rare occurrence.
Why does a statistical sample have to be large?
The larger the sample of data collected leads to a more accurate conclusion.
How does sample size affect the experiment?
The sample size determines the accuracy of results in an experiment
Why would having a larger sample size be a better idea than having a samll sample size when doing an experiment?
less bias and error occur when sample size is larger
How does sample size affect the margin of error?
The larger the sample size, the smaller the margin of error.
Does sample size affect survey result?
a larger the sample size will reduce the size of the confidence interval

How does sample size affect the validity of an experiment?
The sample size has no effect on the validity of an experiment: instead, it is the experimental procedure and integrity of the experimenters.The sample size can affect conclusions that may be drawn from an experiment. The larger the sample is, the more reliable these conclusions are.
Why use anhydrous sodium carbonate instead of sodium carbonate?
They are the same thing, except that 'anhydrous' specifies the sample as not having any water of crystallisation, which can affect measurements of mass and concentration if present. It gives greater accuracy and reliability to any results.
How does sample size affect your level of confidence in accepting a hypothesis?
The larger the sample size the more confident you can be that the data you have collected is representative of what would happen on a larger scale. So if your results seem to prove your hypothesis right then the larger you sample size the more confident you can be in accepting your hypothesis.
Why do smaller populations need larger sample sizes?
They do not. Population size does not affect the sample size. The variability of the characteristic that you are trying to measure and the required accuracy will determine the appropriate sample size.
Is it true that the larger the sample of a mineral the greater its density?
The shape or size of a mineral sample does not affect its density. Since mass is proportional to volume, an increase in mass also increases the volume. The ratio between the two remains constant, hence the density is not affected.
How does sample size affect the size of your standard error?
The standard error should decrease as the sample size increases. For larger samples, the standard error is inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size.The standard error should decrease as the sample size increases. For larger samples, the standard error is inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size.The standard error should decrease as the sample size increases.
