Andrea is told that the means of two groups in a study were statistically significant. She knows the means and standard deviations of the two groups and is interested in calculating an estimate of effect size. Given this information, which effect size estimate should she calculate

Answer:

Cohen's D

Step-by-step explanation:

Cohen's D is a statistic that measures effect size. It shows standardised difference between 2 means.

Effect size is defined as how large the effect of a something is or its magnitude.

Cohen's D works effectively when the sample is >50 (that is for large samples). However a correction factor can be used to make results from small samples more accurate

The formular for Cohen's D is:

D = (mean1 - mean2) ÷ (√({standard deviation1}^2 + {standard deviation 2}^2)/2)

This is the most appropriate method in the given scenario
