I took a statistics course in business school, and it was one of the hardest courses I have ever taken.

One thing I do remember is that 100 is the smallest sample size you can have for a statistic to be "reliable", but the standard deviation is large.

Thus, I would not trust a study that is based off of just 100 samples.
