The researchers want to determine whether the experimental program has increased the mean achievement level over the previous year’s statewide average. If alpha=.05, what sample size is needed to have a probability of Type II error of at most .025 if the actual mean is increased to 550? From previous results, sigma=80.arrow_forward
