AND or OR, that’s the question [Power / Sample Size]
Hi Chris,
In my workshops I use to give this example:
Welcome. I would suggest to use the original one because it is more flexible and shows the seed for reproducibility / documentation.
Answers based on the cumulative probability of the binomial distribution (hint: Bernoulli process). In :
❝ But this exercise was still helpful since I naively expected the "OR" alternative to result in a smaller sample size compared with the "AND" alternative. I failed to realise that a type I error comes into play for the "OR" alternative, which explains a larger sample size (n=42 vs n=36).
In my workshops I use to give this example:
- You toss a single ideal coin once and place a bet on heads (or tails, doesn’t matter). What’s the chance to win? Obviously ½.
- You toss it a second time and place the same bet as before. The chance to win this bet is again ½ (coins have a short memory span).
What is the chance to win at least one of the bets?
❝ Thank you also for modifying the R program. I sincerely appreciate your time and efforts.
