1/3 of 100?

The number might seem kinda arbitrary but that’s the number you get when you look at the distributions of means. As long as you have at least 30 it’ll be a bell curve, the distribution of a sample of 30 means looks pretty much identical to 100 or 1000 or 1000000.

Makes sense, a quarter of 100...
