Larger Samples Give Us More Confidence in Our Conclusions Stephen, a British student studying in the United States, is told that he won’t be able to find his favorite candy bar, Yorkie. He tests this hypothesis in 3 stores and finds no Yorkie bars. Another British student, Victoria, also warned by her friends, looks for her favorite, Curly Wurly. She tests her hypothesis in 25 U.S. stores and finds no Curly Wurly bars. Both conclude that their friends were right. Do you feel more confident that Stephen or Victoria really won’t be able to find the favorite candy bar?
