We ask each participant to enter a very small room and stay there are long as they can. The mean of the control group is 10 seconds, with a standard deviation of 4 seconds. The mean of the experimental group is 18

seconds with a standard deviation of 8 seconds. Our best estimate of effect size is

a. 2.0
b. 1.33
