Power Analysis Calculator

Estimate statistical power for a one-sample test.

Statistical power (%) 78.191

Formula: power = normal CDF of (d*sqrt(n) - z_alpha/2)

Step-by-step with your numbers:
1. Values used:
2. Effect size (Cohen's d) = 0.5
3. Sample size = 30
4. Significance level = 0.05
5.
6. Statistical power = 78.191%
Did we solve your problem today?

Statistical power is the chance of detecting a real effect of a given size.

The math behind it

Power rises with effect size, sample size and alpha. Researchers usually target at least 80%.

Worked example

d 0.5, n 30, alpha 0.05 gives about 75% power.

FAQ

What if power is too low?

Increase the sample size or expect a larger effect.
