812 EDUCATIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL MEASUREMENT (y), a, and N. Power== 1―~ 3, where~ is the probability of failing to reject Ho when H1 is true, a &dquo; Type II&dquo; error. For any given statistical test, the four parameters, power,-y, a and N are so related that any one of them can be written as a function of the remaining three, and all four of these forms of power analysis are potentially of use in data analysis (Cohen, 1965); this article emphasizes the determination of power as a function of y, a, and N and the determination of N as a function of desired power, a and-y, and considers the other forms more briefly. What makes the simplified scheme to be presented possible is the fact that the sampling distributions of most statistics subjected to hypothesis testing are normal to a sufficient approximation, at least for &dquo; large&dquo; samples, and when they are not, available tabled transformations of them are. The large-sample limitation (conventionally, greater than 25 or 30) is frequently no limitation at all, since over much of the behavioral science spectrum, effect sizes are too small for acceptably large power to be attained unless samples are &dquo; large. &dquo; Finally, the determination of &dquo; exact&dquo; power values or sample sizes is usually not critical-even &dquo; ballpark&dquo; estimates are quite useful, and in any case of infinitely greater value than none at all. The reader seeking more exact values (and more detailed exposition with less need for computation) is referred to
