# An Independent T-Test was conducted to determine if there was a difference in weight (kg) between participants who lift weights and those who do not lift weights.
# Those who do not lift weights (Mdn = 40.8) were significantly different from those who lift weights (Mdn = 116), W = 603, p < .001.
# The effect size was large, Cliff's Delta = .930.
#reflection:
#Honestly, I know that is not an excuse but I was playing the chess Olympiad and I was probably very tired, I can't explain otherwise the fact that I chose the wrong test even knowing that the groups were abnormally distributed.
