    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________________________. Sample 1: n = 14, mean = 43, sd = 12. Sample 2: n = 16, mean = 37, sd = 8.16. The pooled variance estimator takes the value 102.53. It is tested whether the population averages are equal. The corresponding test size follows, if the null hypothesis is TRUE,


    1. FALSE: An F-distribution with 14 and 16 degrees of freedom
    2. TRUE: A T distribution with 28 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: An F-division with 13 and 15 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: A T-division with 30 degrees of freedom

    1. An F-distribution with 14 and 16 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    2. A T-division with 28 degrees of freedom: Correct
    3. An F-division with 13 and 15 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. A T-division with 30 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
