Hi Brain,

I've attached our assignment. We had a question about the IRB, in part 6,
participants, it asks how many participants are needed for the study? We
calculated that we need 60 respondents. Should we write 60 or should we
divid this number by our non-response rate? What if we would need more
participants later? We are a little bit confused which number to write in
this section. Please help us.

Thanks,
Mohammad
