Give one method to increase statistical power and Which test statistic should you use if you are comparing two variances?

Expert Solution
Step 1

 

Given problem

Given that

 

Method to increase the statistical power :

a) Increase the sample size

A one tailed test increases the level of significance.

Power is higher with one-tailed when compare with the two-tailed test.

Larger sample makes a less overlap in the two sampling distributions ( null and alternative hypothesis ).

It is meant by narrower sampling distribution.

 

b) Decrease the random error 

It leads to the reduce the variance

Power is higher when the variance is small And

when the standard deviation is small when compare with when they are large.
