Neither a bad experiment nor an unrepresentative sample will be helped by a larger sample size, though.

- danenania 5y agoTrue, though no sample is ever truly representative along every dimension. Even when a lot of effort is put into making a sample as representative as possible, there will be variance in all the potential ways the sample can diverge from the population; this variance seems to be consistently underestimated.
