Extraneous

An <em>extraneous variable</em> is a variable in an experiment that you are not intentionally studying. These variables usually provide undesired affects on the experiment.

In this example, the independent variable is whether a sentence is humorous or not, and the dependent variable is the memory performance score. However, because the humorous sentences are only given to males, and the non-humorous sentences are only given to females, gender becomes an extraneous variable as you are not intentionally testing gender's relation to the dependent variable, but it is still affecting the experiment.

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.
