In university I took a Sociology course in the same semester I took the Statistics course which was required for my math degree. In statistics we were in a section about the sample size you needed, and I was doing a paper in sociology ...
The funny thing was that every study I was reading for sociology had a sample size of 10 to 20 people, while my statistics course implied every statistic they gathered required 500+ people to prove the point they were trying to make.
