    Question

    Researcher I expects an effect size of 0.55, researcher II expects an effect size of 0.40. Both test with a α\alpha = .05.

    If both researchers draw a sample of size 100, which study achieves the greatest power?


    1. FALSE: The power is equal in both cases because the samples are of equal size.
    2. FALSE: The power is equal in both cases because the samples used α\alpha’s are equal.
    3. FALSE: Research II
    4. TRUE: Research I
