Question

What are some ways a sample size can be damaging to a study or research?

Answer 1

Sample is a group of people,objects,or items that taken from a larger population for measurement.The sample should be representative of the population to ensure that we can generalize the findings from the research sample to the population as whole.Sampling is a process used in statistical analysis in which a predetermined number of observations are taken from a larger population. Sample size selection is the choosing the number of observations or replicates to include in statistical sample. Appropriate sample size is important for the research validity.If the sample size too small it will not yield valid results ,if sample size too large it will give burden to researchers economically and waste research time too.
