- Law of Large Numbers
- Then obtain a rate, which requires a second assumption: the elementary variance bound gives P(|X̄ₙ − μ| ≥ ε) ≤ σ²/(nε²), so the required sample size scales as σ²/ε² — quadratic in precision, which is why halving an error bar costs four times the data.
This sourceGives the variance-based tail bound that yields the sigma-squared over n-epsilon-squared rate and hence the quadratic dependence of required sample size on precision.
