Cohen's conventions for the t test for independent means are approximately _____ for a small effect size, ____ for a medium effect size, and ______ for a large effect size?



- .1, .3, .5

- 2, 4, 6

- .2, .5, .8

- 3, 6, 9

To quote one of our very good math and science tutors: “You will find here at Jiskha that long series of questions, posted with no evidence of effort or thought by the person posting, will not be answered. We will gladly respond to your future questions in which your thoughts are included.”

To determine Cohen's conventions for the t test for independent means, we need to consider the effect size. Cohen's conventions classify effect sizes as small, medium, or large. The conventions for effect size are expressed as Cohen's d values.

For a small effect size, Cohen's d is typically around 0.2.
For a medium effect size, Cohen's d is typically around 0.5.
For a large effect size, Cohen's d is typically around 0.8.

Given the options provided, the correct answer is:
- .2, .5, .8
