A small sample size

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A small sample size can lead to unreliable results and inaccurate conclusions. Therefore, it is important for scientific studies to have a sufficient sample size in order to increase the validity of the results. While a small sample size may be used in some circumstances, it is not usually a benefit to researchers and may not allow for the use of dependent and independent variables. Option A is incorrect because a high degree of statistical significance cannot be guaranteed with a small sample size. Option B is incorrect because small sample sizes may be acceptable in certain situations. Option D is incorrect because the use of dependent and independent variables is not dependent on sample size but rather the research design.
