Puterea statistică şi testarea ipotezelor
Keywords:
statistical hypotesis, experimental research, statistical powerAbstract
Lots of psychologists tend to say that statistics it’s nothing more than mathematics and therefore a lots of troubles. In this article I intend to fight against this vision, by resorting to situations in witch we can draw different conclusions (for example, rejecting or not the statistical hypothesis) although we use the same information set.
