Accidents like this are extremely difficult to disguise or hide because even the smallest sample of wind-blown dust, when put through a gamma ray spectrometer, will indicate that the level of radioactivity is unusually high, and that the source is either a nuclear explosion, a leaking reactor, or an accident involving a reprocessing plant for spent power station fuel.
Focusing on such specific criteria gave us our smallest sample, but it was still large enough to be representative and surprising.
The lower bound is the smallest sample size that would yield the desired level of precision for some model, while the upper bound is the smallest sample size that would yield the desired level of precision for all models.
The smallest sample sizes are for immigrants in the 1980s; however, even these have at least 1,953 observations.
And Dr Sarasan had only a 1p-piece-sized clipping of fern to work with - the smallest sample he had ever cultured from.
If samples are not balanced, we say that the size of the smallest sample is n and the size of the largest is m.
Entry velocity for the smallest sample #19 (d = 12 μm), with a 50% release temperature of 680°C, is about 12 km/s.
For comparison, the reported descriptive statistics are for the smallest sample size regression of 2,465 observations that are used in analysis.
Our example illustrates that minimizing cost to achieve 80% power is not as simple as finding the smallest sample size capable of achieving 80% power, since smaller sample sizes require each subject to be scanned longer.
Allelic richness and its statistical significance was calculated in FSTAT [51], standardized to the smallest sample following the rarefaction method.
The estimates of allelic richness were standardised to the smallest sample size in our dataset, N = 17.
