Its job in the formula

n is part of the quantity the equation computes from the expression on the right.

The passage around this formula

For n = 500 and p^\hat p near one half, this is on the order of two percentage points — before accounting for the additional variance introduced by sampling temperature, agentic scaffolding, or a different number of retries per problem. A published gap of four or five points between two systems evaluated…
