law of small numbers

Definition The law of small numbers refers to the incorrect belief held by experts and laypeople alike that small samples ought to resemble the population from which they are drawn. Although this is true of large samples, it isn't for small ones. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Psychology; Law of Small Numbers]
