Draw repeated samples from a skewed population. Compare the changing sample values with the steadier distribution of sample means as sample size grows. Current reading: The sample contains 28 observations. Sample size changes uncertainty; skew changes the population being sampled.reference
What changed

The sample contains 28 observations. Sample size changes uncertainty; skew changes the population being sampled.

Experiment after prediction.

Before changing a control, say which visible feature should move and which should remain invariant. That prediction is the useful part of the experiment; motion alone is not evidence.
