A larger sample size increases the power of the statistical test, making it more likely to detect a significant difference or relationship. A correlation coefficient of .3 may not be considered significant with a small sample size (such as n = 5), but with a larger sample size of 500, it may be statistically significant. Therefore, option D (r = .3, n = 500) is most likely to be a statistically significant finding.
