    Question

    The teacher of grade 8 at Linden Tree School has had statistics during his training. He conducted an experiment with his students, and now wants to calculate the power of the test.

There are 25 students in his class, all of whom participated. He wants to test at α\alpha = .05. What is the power of this test?
