A measurement has standard deviation 10 on each of two occasions, and a subject's two measurements have correlation 0.80.8. A paired study measures 25 subjects twice and uses the mean difference. An unpaired study instead measures nn different subjects on occasion 1 and nn other subjects on occasion 2 and uses the difference of means. What is the smallest nn for which the unpaired study's standard error is no larger than the paired study's?
