Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of a post hoc power analysis?

  • To establish the sample size required for a study
  • To estimate power after analyzing the data (correct)
  • To calculate sensitivity after data collection
  • To determine the effect size before data collection
  • When conducting a sensitivity analysis, what is the goal?

  • To determine the sample size needed for a study
  • To evaluate the statistical power of the study
  • To find the expected effect size
  • To identify the minimum detectable effect size (correct)
  • In Setting Power Exp. 1, what was the effect size that could be detected with a power of 0.80?

  • dz = 0.317 (correct)
  • dz = 0.430
  • dz = 0.48
  • dz = 0.80
