Two studies were conducted, study A had a power of 0.75 and study B had a power of 0.45. Which study would be more likely to support the true alternative hypothesis Ha ?
As we know the power of test is defined as probability of rejecting null hypothesis when alternative hypothesis is true.
If we have power= 0.75 this means the probability of rejecting null hypothesis is 0.75. when alternative is true. This means with 0.75 probability it is accepting true alternative hypothesis.
If power = 0.25, this shows with 0.25 probability it is accepting true alternative hypothesis.
Therefore Study A is more likely to support the true alternative hypothesis Ha.
