    You might want to look up sampling. If the sample is randomly distributed, you can calculate the chance that the given data is because of sampling error.

    You see, it doesn’t matter what the total population is for the sampling error. It only matters what your number of samples is and the absolute difference between the groups.

        Sample size doesn’t care about the total population size, since it doesn’t affect the probability of sampling error
