As this number increases, the average of observed experimental values gets closer to the expected value as described by the law of large numbers.
For a Cauchy distribution, the posterior distribution of the population mean is bizarrely independent of this value. It's equal to the sum of the values in the cells of a two by two contingency table. Bessel's correction subtracts one from this number in certain calculations of the (*) standard deviation. As this number increases, the average of observed experimental values gets closer to the expected value as described by the law of large numbers. This value is usually symbolized by lowercase n, and the mean is the sum of the data values divided by this number. For 10 points, give this quantity counting the number of data points in a set.
