Comparing the effect on H0, when sample size is 1000 and when sample size is 1500.
When conducting a significance test, it is easier to reject H0 when the sample size is 1500 compared to a sample size of 1000. Because, Z Score and sample size have a directly proportional relationship, when sample size increases, Z score increases, which in turn has a higher chance of H0 getting rejected.
