Explain the relationship between k and power based on calculated k values. You need to look up values in an F-table and record the correct value for the given significance level given the number of groups and 24 participants.

Work through the following and write down what you see in the F-table. This will help familiarize you with the table.

The F-table: The degrees of freedom for the numerator (k 1) are across the columns; the degrees of freedom for the denominator (N k) are across the rows in the table. A separate table is included for a .05 and .01 level of significance.

Increasing the levels of the independent variable (k):

Suppose we have a sample size of 24 participants (N = 24). Record the critical values given the following values for k:

	.05	.01
k = 2 k = 4 k = 6 k = 8	___ ___ ___ ___	___ ___ ___ ___

As k increases (from 1 to 8), does the critical value increase or decrease? Based on your answer, explain how k is related to power.
