Entry: minimum sample size
URI: https://data.geoscience.earth/ncl/ISO11074/4.1.11
minimum mass or volume of material in a sample for which the variability caused by the individual particles within that material has a negligible effect. Note: The minimum sample size is calculated based on an equation in which different factors result in an estimation of the minimum sample size. One of these factors is the variability that is accepted to be caused by the differences between individual particles. When a large amount of variability is chosen for this factor, there will no longer be a “negligible effect”, as mentioned in the definition. However, in normal circumstances, a low value is chosen, accepting only a relatively small amount of variability.
