   	a.	There is not enough information to answer this question.
   	b.	η2 = 0.23.
   	c.	η2 = 0.21.
   	d.	η2 = 0.25.

QUESTION 9

1. To increase the value of estimated Cohen’s d, a researcher increases the sample size. Will this change the value of d?

   	a.	No; the sample size is not used to compute effect size.
   	b.	Yes; as sample size increases, effect size increases.
   	c.	Yes; as sample size increases, effect size decreases.
   	d.	No; as sample size increases, effect size decreases.
