MHB Sample Size determination question

Click For Summary
To determine the sample size for a study comparing patient outcomes between Nurse Practitioners with varying clinical experience, an alpha level of 0.05 and a power of 0.8 are specified. A Power & Sample Size Calculator can be utilized to compute the necessary sample size based on these parameters. The calculation will depend on the expected effect size and the specific statistical tests planned for analysis. It is essential to input the relevant data into the calculator to obtain accurate sample size estimates. Proper sample size determination is crucial for ensuring the validity of the research findings.
