The Power of a test is the probability of the test correctly rejecting a false null hypothesis.[br]How can you increase the power of a test?[br][list=1][br][*] You can hope for an extreme sample (drag point A to the right).[br][*] You can increase the alpha level, thus increasing the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis regardless of [br]it being false or not (drag point B to the left).[br][*] You can increase the sample size (as long as it stays less than 10% of the population size).[br][/list]
