    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 19, mean = 44, sd = 3.43 Sample 2: n = 10, mean = 29, sd = 6.52. The pooled variance estimator takes the value of 22.01. 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 27 degrees of freedom
    2. FALSE: An F-division with 19 and 10 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: An F-division with 18 and 9 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: A T distribution with 29 degrees of freedom

    1. A T-distribution with 27 degrees of freedom: Correct
    2. An F-division with 19 and 10 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    3. An F-division with 18 and 9 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. A T-division with 29 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
