33 people, whether in an Italian city or on Mars is awfully not enough to conclude anything.

33 people, whether in an Italian city or on Mars is awfully not enough to conclude anything.
- rrobukef 5y agoSure you can: 'We found this glow-in-the-dark sludge near a meteorite site. We injected this sludge in 33 healthy male human adults (Homo Sapiens Sapiens) and played loud music. A week later (with mean 168.5 hours and std. dev. 1 hour) they all died. Our hypothesis is that the loud music burst their eardrums and they bled out. We confirm this with a statistically significant test, p=1. We conclude all test-subjects are dead.'
- tgv 5y ago33 people and that goddamn awful significance testing? And not even randomized? Pure citation bait. Edit: to highlight the problems of non-randomizing: it's not just the frequency that changed between experimental conditions. The conclusion could just as well have been "heart rate drops on second hearing" or "everyone's heart rate drops 4.8bpm in one day". I think that especially that last conclusion will make you think it can't be true, but as a hypothesis, it has the same status as the 440/432 manipulation.
