    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 11, mean = 37, sd = 5.94 Sample 2: n = 16, mean = 27, sd = 6.59. The pooled variance estimator takes the value 40.17. It is tested whether the population averages are equal. The corresponding test size follows, if the null hypothesis is TRUE,


    1. FALSE: A T distribution with 27 degrees of freedom
    2. FALSE: An F-division with 11 and 16 degrees of freedom
    3. TRUE: A T distribution with 25 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: An F-division with 10 and 15 degrees of freedom

    1. A T-distribution with 27 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    2. An F-division with 11 and 16 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    3. A T-division with 25 degrees of freedom: Correct
    4. An F-division with 10 and 15 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
