[The distribution of animals by experimental groups for improving the results of a statistical comparison of means].
For optimal division of animals (or other objects under investigation) into groups, the following equation is proposed: ni = N/(K+ square root of H-h(i)), where N is the total number of animals covered in an experiment; H is the total number of the means to be compared; K is the number of groups, i = 1, 2, 3, ... is the number of a group, h(i) is the number of comparisons where the numbered i group participates, ni is the optimal number of animals in the group. As a result those differences of the means which really exist, will be found with the greatest probability.
