How does increasing the sample size affect the power of a statistical test?
- Decreases the power
- Does not affect the power
- Increases the power
- May either increase or decrease the power
Increasing the sample size generally increases the power of a statistical test. This is because a larger sample provides more information, making it more likely that the test will detect a true effect if one exists.
