Yes and no. Yes is because the comparability or similarity of the groups is much more likely to occur if the population is large. Even the random assignment may not produce equivalence if the sample size is small.
No is because a large sample size doesn’t guarantee comparability. Efforts should be invested to assess whether the treatment and control groups are similar.

Local NGOs have reported that younger workers are more susceptible to layoffs than their older and more experienced colleagues. Could this claim potentially trigger policy changes?

Could this be considered a sampling strategy if data were to be gathered from all of them?

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?

I have designed a large-scale survey about the life satisfaction of low-income families in Hong Kong. Is it appropriate to use the electronic survey through mobile phones?
