Calculate statistical power for hypothesis testing

Small: 0.2, Medium: 0.5, Large: 0.8

Results:

Statistical Power: 49.06%


Type II Error (β): 50.94%

Effect Size (Cohen's d): 0.5

Sample Size (per group): 30

Significance Level (α): 0.05


Interpretation:

Low power. Increase sample size to improve detection probability.

About Statistical Power

Statistical power is the probability of correctly rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false (detecting a true effect).

Power = 1 - β (where β is the Type II error rate)

Commonly accepted standards:

  • Minimum acceptable power: 0.80 (80%)
  • High power: 0.90 or above

Power increases with larger effect sizes, larger sample sizes, and higher alpha levels.
