Answer:

Because it was the loss of the ancient world's single greatest archive of knowledge.

Explanation:

Alexandria was founded in Egypt by Alexander the Great. His successor as Pharaoh, Ptolemy I Soter, founded the Museum (also called Museum of Alexandria, Greek Mouseion, “Seat of the Muses”) or Royal Library of Alexandria in 283 BC. The Museum was a shrine of the Muses modeled after the Lyceum of Aristotle in Athens. The Museum was a place of study which included lecture areas, gardens, a zoo, and shrines for each of the nine muses as well as the Library itself. It has been estimated that at one time the Library of Alexandria held over half a million documents from Assyria, Greece, Persia, Egypt, India and many other nations. Over 100 scholars lived at the Museum full time to perform research, write, lecture or translate and copy documents. The library was so large it actually had another branch or "daughter" library at the Temple of Serapis.

Placing a greater value on a research project that included 10,000 participants, as opposed to one investigating the same hypoth
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: sample size

Explanation: sample size simply means the number of observations or items chosen as a representation of a population. Sample size is an important terminology used in statistical analysis as most statistical or experimental research cannot be performed using all the available observations in the entire population either due to cost or total impossibility. The larger the sample size, the better the generalization made about the entire population.

Therefore, a sample size consisting of 10,000 participants or observations will generalize more and hence, attract greater value and interest than the same analysis with a sample size of 24 participants.
