Answer :

are sometimes sensitive to the sample size and can take this into account when making a judgement

Explanation:

The sample size here is really small and as such is insufficient for the exercise/ experiment. Participants were unable or rather unwilling to answer the question or make extrapolation on the obesity of the tribe given the sample size insufficiency. This therefore shows participants are considering sample size in making judgements or extrapolation on the tribe here
