2) Find the sample size needed to have power = .83 when a = 105
for the hypothesis test above.
Solution:
3) Find the value of a when the power =.75 and n = 20 for the test
above.
Solution:
If you examine each power formula, you find that each contain
the expression

I. Ho: < 12
versus
Ha: > 12
= .01
1) For n = 14 and a = 14, what is the power of this test? DRAW A
PICTURE.
2) If the researcher wants the power of this test to be .85, how
large should the sample size be? DRAW A PICTURE.
II. Ho: = 120
versus
Ha: =
/ 120
= .05
1) For n = 25 and a = 110, what is the power of this test? Use
both the formula and the table in the text.
2) If the researcher wants the power of the test to be .90, how
large should the sample size be when a = 110?
Use both the
formula and the table in the text.
3) Redo parts 1 and 2 if =;01.
