- The law of small numbers is a cognitive bias that causes people to assume that small samples are highly representative of the population from which theyre drawn.
- For example, this bias can cause people to mistakenly think that if a family had three girls born in a row, then a boy is “due” next (because the total ratio of boys to girls in the population is roughly 1:1), even though the gender of the next baby is independent of the gender of the previous ones.
- This bias can also cause people to stereotype social groups based on factors like nationality, by overgeneralizing the behavior of a single group member, due to the expectation that this person will be highly representative of their entire social group.
- When encountering situations where this bias might play a role, ask yourself how representative the sample in question is expected to be of its parent population, and why (e.g., based on how big your sample is).
- Watch out for other issues that can co-occur with this bias, like assuming that a sample was randomly selected, when in reality it was selected in a biased way, based on some important factor.
