Why use a sample instead of a population?
•Logistics
•Cost
•Time
Samples:
Random- each member of population has an equal chance of being part of the sample.
or
Representative- ensuring that certain parameters of your sample match the population.
Replicates:
Technical vs Experimental
Technical replicate- one treatment is divided into multiple samples.
Experimental replicate- different, replicate, treatments are done to different samples.
Testing blood sugar levels after eating a Snickers:
Testing blood sugar levels after eating a Snickers:
Divide a participants blood into 3 samples and test blood sugar in each sample.
Technical or Experimental replicate?
Testing blood sugar levels after eating a Snickers:
Test 3 different people.

What sample size do you need?
What sample size do you need?
It depends on the error you expect.
To determine an appropriate sample size, you need to estimate a few parameters.•Means•Standard Deviation
•Power: The probability that an experiment will have a significant (positive) result, that is have a p-value of less than the specified significance level (usually 5%).
This calculator will help you determine the appropriate sample size:

What sample size do you need?
It depends on the error you expect.
(So it is impossible to predict with 100% accuracy before the experiment is carried out.)
