Hi everybody,

I have two questions:

Why the minimum simple size fixed by all regulatory authorities is 12? because when we consult the table of Sample Size for Schuirmann’s Two One-Sided t-Tests Procedure, we note that for low CV <15% the number of subject required is < 12?
in pilot study, we need small simple size, but could it be greater than 12?

thank you

There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the
hypothesis, then you’ve made a measurement. If the result is
contrary to the hypothesis, then you’ve made a discovery. Enrico Fermi
