If the independent variable is more powerful in experiment A than in experiment B, there is a higher probability of rejecting H ₀ in A than in B if, in fact, H ₀ is false.

This statement is true because a more powerful independent variable (i.e. one that can induce a larger effect) increases the chances of detecting a true effect and rejecting the null hypothesis (H ₀) if it is false. Therefore, experiment A, which has a more powerful independent variable, has a higher probability of rejecting H ₀ compared to experiment B.
