| | eBMJ -- Statistics at Square One: 3. Populations and samples |
| | For instance, equal numbers might be admitted to the male and female categories, but males and females are not equally numerous in the general population, and their relative proportions vary with age. | | | In randomised controlled trials it is advisable to change the block size from time to time to make it more difficult to guess what the next treatment is going to be. | | | Thus the variation between samples depends partly on the amount of variation in the population from which they are drawn. |
