Better the results
The sample size determines the accuracy of results in an experiment
1. Better chance of uniform sample. 2. Material for confirmations if needed.

that you have a large variance in the population and/or your sample size is too small
The standard deviation would generally decrease because the large the sample size is, the more we know about the population, so we can be more exact in our measurements.
Statistically the larger the sample size the more significant the results of the experiment are. Chance variation is ruled out.
The sample size determines the accuracy of results in an experiment
To make an experiment more reliable, it is important to have a large sample size, control for confounding variables, and ensure replicability by conducting the experiment multiple times. These factors reduce the impact of chance and increase the validity of the study findings.
having a large sample size
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.
A sample size is needed whenever you conduct an experiment. How you determine an adequate sample size depends on the scope of what you're testing, such as medications.
less bias and error occur when sample size is larger
Sample size greatly reduces any error to randomness in a given sample. Each experiment requires a proper size of a sample. The better it is fitted to the experiment, the better is the result. For example, if you are trying to find out the study habits of students at your school of 1000 kids, a sample size of 50 would be sufficient. However, if you are trying to find out the study habits of students across the US, a sample size of at least several hundred-thousand would be required, preferably several million.
Estimates based on the sample should become more accurate.
A disadvantage to a large sample size can skew the numbers. It is better to have sample sizes that are appropriate based on the data.

Generally, the larger the sample the more reliable the results. Example: If you flipped a coin twice and got heads both times you could say the coined is biased towards heads. However, if you repeat the experiment 100 times your results will be a lot more reliable.
