This section describes procedures for determining the appropriate sample size for various statistical tests. The following menu items are included:
5.4.1 Normal Mean - for estimating the mean of a normal distribution
5.4.2 Normal Sigma - for estimating the standard deviation of a normal distribution
5.4.3 Binomial Proportion - for estimating the parameter of a binomial distribution
5.4.4 Poisson Rate - for estimating the rate parameter of a Poisson distribution
5.4.5 Comparison of Two Means - for comparing the means of two normal distributions
5.4.6 Comparison of Two Sigmas - for comparing the standard deviations of two normal distributions
5.4.7 Comparison of Two Proportions - for comparing the parameters of two binomial distributions
5.4.8 Comparison of Two Rates - for comparing the rate parameters of two Poisson distributions
5.4.9 Comparison of Several Means - for comparing the means of more than two normal distributions
