As part of her dissertation, a PhD student in the Department of Psychology wants to test the hypothesis that women talk more than men. In a quirky experiment, she equips 17 women and 20 men with a digital device that intermittently records spoken words in 5-minute intervals throughout the day. She enters the average numbers of words spoken for each gender during the experiment in JASP and runs a series of analyses. The results of her experiments are presented in the table below. What statistic should the PhD student report in her dissertation?

Note. For the Student t-test and Welch t-test, effect size is given by Cohen's d. For the Mann-Whitney test, effect size is given by the rank biserial correlation.
Note. For the Student t-test and Welch t-test, location parameter is given by mean difference. For the Mann-Whitney test, location parameter is given by the Hodges-Lehmann estimate.
