Look, if you want the article, let me know and I can send it as a pdf file.  Unlike Jim Muckerheide, I do not read abstracts and give you my opinions.  You should be able to read and analyze yourself.

This applies to the normal distribution.  For a few observations my guess is that the Poisson distribution would be useful, or other non-parametric statistics could be used.  I have not looked at the data.  Just commenting on the 'more than 30' value.
