A researcher is exploring differences between men and women on 'number of different recreational drugs used.' The researcher collects data on a sample of 50 men and 50 women between the ages of 18-25. Each participant is asked 'how many different recreational drugs have you tried in your life?' The IV is gender (male/female) and the DV is 'number of reported drugs.'
Please elaborate on the power issues may arise. What factors influence statistical power? What biases may occur in this study?
