A research group wants to know if the online platform to play Settlers of Catan is being accessed more after the stay at home or

der than before it. The mean for number of games started per minute before the stay at home order was 1000. The researchers hypothesize that after the stay at home order, the online platform was accessed more so than before the stay at home order. They set alpha = .05 The mean for number of games started per minute after the stay at home order, was 1378 with a standard deviation of 489. The sample size was 108,000.
a. Given this conclusion, what can you say about the p value of this test statistic?
b. Please calculate the effect size. Is it small, medium, or large?

Answer:

a) The P-value is 0.

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the online platform was accessed significantly more so than before the stay at home order.

b) Effect size d = 0.77

Medium.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the online platform was accessed significantly more so than before the stay at home order.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=1000\\\\H_a:\mu> 1000

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=108000.

The sample mean is M=1378.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=489.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{489}{\sqrt{108000}}=1.488

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{1378-1000}{1.488}=\dfrac{378}{1.488}=254.036

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=108000-1=107999

This test is a right-tailed test, with 107999 degrees of freedom and t=254.036, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

\text{P-value}=P(t>254.036)=0

As the P-value (0) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the online platform was accessed significantly more so than before the stay at home order.

The effect size can be estimated with the Cohen's d.

This can be calculated as:

d=\dfrac{M-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{1378-1000}{489}=\dfrac{378}{489}=0.77

The values of Cohen's d between 0.2 and 0.8 are considered "Medium", so in this case, the effect size d=0.77 is medium.
