Is the use of non response rate in the final sample size calculation recommended for cross sectional study?

In my point of view, considering non-response rate in final sample size calculation for longitudinal study is important because refusal of participants may occur at any stage of the study and...

What test should I use to compare two or three means, if data is not normally distributed but sample size is > 30 in each group?

I personally feel this as a most confusing question. As per my understanding, if sample size is > 30, and sample is skewed, we can still use paramteric approach, as it will follow Z...
