Description
Notebook proposal
Title: Bayesian Power Analysis
Why should this notebook be added to pymc-examples?
As pointed out in #349, we don't have anything currently on hypothesis testing, and nothing (nearly nothing?) on decision making. Filling this gap in the topic coverage would be good.
The notebook could go into a new category of "Hypothesis Testing" or the existing "How to" category.
PS This issue was inspired by the proposal by @cetagostini to bring Bayesian Power Analysis to CasusalPy
Suggested categories:
- Level: Beginner or intermediate
Related notebooks
I don't believe there would be any overlap or redundancy caused by adding this. However the proposed notebook might be grouped in with one on hypothesis testing (see #349) and with currently WIP PR #477 on decision utility functions.

Research direction
Start by reading related issue #349 and WIP PR #477, then review the existing notebook categories and related examples in pymc-examples. Clarify the Bayesian power analysis scope, intended audience, and category before implementation. Done means an agreed, non-redundant example notebook is added with the relevant references.
