A certain producer of chocolate has some problems with the variability of five suppliers of cocoa. Since the cocoa quality is critical to the final chocolate product, the company has decided to perform a DOE to compare these suppliers. According to experiences with customers, the capacity of detection of any variation is 3.5 units. Estimate the sample size needed to get at least a power of 85%, given that the historical variance of the process is 2.5 units
