2 Case Study
Suppose that the closest literature of your current study have a weighted means of 3.357 and 3.514 with
standard deviations of 0.752 and 0.824, respectively. This literature with the same number of observations
show that the two independent variables have significant difference, particularly, the test used was t-test.
Determine the sample size of your current study you need to ensure that the power and effect size meet
the requirements. Using G-Power, please show a picture of your final output (Print screen).
3 Summation Rules
The advanced course in psychology enrolls five students. Early in the semester, the teacher gives two
