Assertion (A): The effect-size is the between group difference divided by a pooled version of the standard deviations of the groups being compared.
Reason (R): Large between group differences and large within group variability result in large effect sizes.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): A medical diagnosis is different from a physical therapy diagnosis.
Reason (R): The medical diagnosis is identified at the cellular level while a physical therapy diagnosis identify the impact of a condition on function at the level of the system and at the level of a whole person.
