    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 19, mean = 45, sd = 9.29 Sample 2: n = 18, mean = 52, sd = 3.8. The pooled variance estimator takes the value 51.4. 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 35 degrees of freedom
    2. FALSE: A T distribution with 37 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: An F-division with 18 and 17 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: An F-division with 19 and 18 degrees of freedom

    1. A T-distribution with 35 degrees of freedom: Correct
    2. A T-division with 37 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    3. An F-division with 18 and 17 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. An F-division with 19 and 18 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
