Question

You are still interested in the psychological implications of high SES. You read a different paper from the same field that looks at a similar, but not the same phenomenon. The alpha level in this study was 0.05, R in this field is still 0.35, but this researcher was much more careful, with power of this study at 0.9. The paper reports a significant effect. What is the probability that it is real? Blank 1. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text.

Answer 1

0.86

Explanation:

Alpha level in study ( ∝ )= 0.05

In the field ( r ) = 0.35

power of study = 0.9

Determine the Probability of been real

1 - 0.14

= 1 - 0.14 = 0.86

The opposite of a probability been real is the Probability of been unreal
