Again. I said enough. Is 10 flips enough in principle to establish a certain premise about coinflips? No.
But 100k is
And more wont help
100k is more than 10
100k helped compared to 10
hence proving my point
Come on man
What?
This is really basic stuff
My point is what?
I'm not trying to knock you
Yes. Basic and irrelevant
It's not irrelevant
It's quite important
You're acting as if sample size doesn't matter
that's clearly not the case
It matters to a point
It matters period
Depends on what you study
No. It doesnt matter period.
Per the 100k vs. 10 mil example
But it's important to get a large sample size
Maybe. It certainly isnt some inviolable principle. Maybe it is useful.
10 mil will still give you a more accurate result than 100k
It doesnt make it MORE TRUE
10 mil vs. 100k in coinflips
It's not about being "more true" but more accurate
Will not give you a more accurate result
it will
More accurate what though
Than what you'd likely otherwise get just doing 100k
in other words
Hang on
sure thing
100k fully establishes a certain premise
it does
and that premise is valid
How can you get more accurate than 50 50
why do you assume you'll get a perfect 50/50 at 100k?
Will it become 50.0n1 on one side?
