What sample size would satisfy you?
- tremon 10y agoFor extrapolating the results to the entire Earth population? Let's see, that would require a cross-generational study across a number of different societies, across different schools and classrooms, from different socio-economic situations, and with an equal number of control groups. So we're looking at a minimum of 4 (test moments across 25 years) * 4 (societies) * 5 (schools across socio-economic areas) * 2 (classes per school) * 2 (test + control group) * 30 (pupils per class) =~ 10000 test subjects.
