Tables of Sample Sizes for Two Groups Tables of Sample Sizes for Multiple (>2) Groups References
These tables provides sample sizes (per group) needed to compare the means of 2 groups, assuming that the data is normally distributed, that the variance in the groups are similar, and that the sample sizes for the groups are the same
   - Power = 1-β
   - α = Probability of Type I Error
   - es = Effect size = difference between means / population of within group Standard Deviation
