Question

Explain what it means when a researcher finds significant results in a statistical test that has a low effect size

Answer 1

Effect size refers to the determination, which comprises the magnitude of the association between the variables within a study. If a scientist finds substantial results in a statistical test, which exhibits a low effect size, it signifies that the outcomes may not be meaningful in a practical sense or maybe it has occurred because of something other than what the scientist considered at the start.

Answer 2

In research when a significant result is found that means it has been shown through statistical tests that one variable has had an effect on another. If it is a low effect size though it means that the effect is not large enough to prove a hypothesis.
