Three Key Numbers
All completely randomized designs with one primary factor are defined by 3 numbers:
- k = number of factors (= 1 for these designs)
- L = number of levels
- n = number of replications
and the total sample size (number of runs) is N = k × L × n. Balance dictates that the number of replications be the same at each level of the factor (this will maximize the sensitivity of subsequent statistical t- (or F-) tests).

Famous quotes containing the words key and/or numbers:
“The key word in my plays is “perhaps.””
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes.... It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment.”
—Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)
