Testing sample size
In order to conduct a hypothesis test and be sure that the result is fair, a sample must meet three requirements: it is a random sample of the population, the observations are independent, and there are enough observations. Of these, only the last condition is easily testable with code.
The minimum sample size depends on the type of hypothesis tests you want to perform. You'll now test some scenarios on the late_shipments dataset.
Note that the .all() method from pandas can be used to check if all elements are true. For example, given a DataFrame df with numeric entries, you check to see if all its elements are less than 5, using (df < 5).all().
late_shipments is available, and pandas is loaded as pd.
