Using correct effect size/calculate sample size in G power

Post by mmzouki »

Hello,
I currently am working on an assignment where I need to record the effect size and sample size of 4 predictive variables. It must be done using t-test with the information given (see attachment). I am not sure if I need any of that information to calculate effort size and sample size in G power. Do i just put the effect size at 0.15, use a multiple regression model, a err prob of 0.05 and a power of 0..95 and see what the sample size is based on that for all variables? Someone please help.

First, you need to think which is the correct test for your example. Do you want to test mean differences? Or what do you want to test?
