Problem

Scenario

You're reviewing an experiment on a product change and the team is discussing whether a null result is actually informative. You need to explain how power affects what you can conclude from the test.

Question

What is statistical power, and why does it matter for product experiments?

What this tests

  • Understanding of statistical power as 1 minus Type II error
  • Connection between power, sample size, and minimum detectable effect
  • Ability to explain why null results can be misleading in underpowered A/B tests
