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 word “forbearance” is the key to a happy home.”
—Chinese proverb.
“All ye poets of the age,
All ye witlings of the stage,
Learn your jingles to reform,
Crop your numbers to conform.
Let your little verses flow
Gently, sweetly, row by row;
Let the verse the subject fit,
Little subject, little wit.
Namby-Pamby is your guide,
Albion’s joy, Hibernia’s pride.”
—Henry Carey (1693?–1743)
