Best-fitting power-law slope of the CD of the progenitor masses for a range of sample sizes. The error bars correspond to the 68% confidence limit. The larger the sample, the higher the probability that the best-fitting power-law slope is that of a Salpeter IMF. The solid black line indicates the Salpeter IMF slope for massive stars.
