EXAMPLE 14.28 Choosing the Sample Size for a Future Study
CASE 14.2 To decide on an appropriate sample size for the experiment described in the previous example, we repeat the power calculation for different values of , the number of subjects in each group. Here are the results:
DFG | DFE | Power | |||
20 | 2 | 57 | 3.16 | 7.35 | 0.65 |
30 | 2 | 87 | 3.10 | 11.02 | 0.84 |
40 | 2 | 117 | 3.07 | 14.69 | 0.93 |
50 | 2 | 147 | 3.06 | 18.37 | 0.97 |
100 | 2 | 297 | 3.03 | 36.73 | ≈ 1 |
