What is Sample Size?

Statistics

표본 수

The number of records on which a judgment was based. With a small sample, the average swings greatly on one or two chance cases, so neither good nor bad results can be trusted. That is why the denominator should be looked at before the ratio. Even a 70 percent hit rate gives no basis for predicting the next result if the denominator is ten.
