surob I thought the size of the sample matters from the randomness standpoint. Any thoughts?
tabulator Randomness and size are not related. Randomness is the way you choose from the sample of any size.
bahodir It is wrong because the statement should be "A sample must be reasonably large to be considered an unbiased sample"
Gooner7 unbiased..thanks bahodir!
