A Researcher Is Comparing a New and Less Expensive Treatment

question 21

Multiple Choice

A researcher is comparing a new and less expensive treatment with an established treatment, in hopes of showing that there is no difference in outcome. The researcher does not perform a power analysis and, consequently, selects a sample size that is smaller than what would be recommended for an analysis of variance. The results show that there is a significant difference in outcome between the two treatments, and that the new treatment has poorer outcomes. What is the negative result of the researcher's decision to use a smaller sample?

• A)The statistical conclusions reached are incorrect.
• B)There is no negative result.
• C)The study will have to be replicated, because its sample was small.
• D)The researcher is guilty of misconduct.
