    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 19, mean = 38, sd = 3.03 Sample 2: n = 11, mean = 31, sd = 11.82. The pooled variance estimator takes the value 55.8. It is tested whether the population averages are equal. The corresponding test size follows, if the null hypothesis is TRUE,


    1. TRUE: A T distribution with 28 degrees of freedom
    2. FALSE: An F-division with 18 and 10 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: An F-division with 19 and 11 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: A T distribution with 30 degrees of freedom

    1. A T-distribution with 28 degrees of freedom: Correct
    2. An F-division with 18 and 10 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    3. An F-division with 19 and 11 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. A T-division with 30 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
