    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 11, mean = 43, sd = 8.06 Sample 2: n = 14, mean = 55, sd = 10.02. The pooled variance estimator takes the value 84.99. 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 10 and 13 degrees of freedom
    2. FALSE: A T-division with 25 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: An F-division with 11 and 14 degrees of freedom
    4. TRUE: A T distribution with 23 degrees of freedom

    1. An F-distribution with 10 and 13 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    2. A T-division with 25 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    3. An F-division with 11 and 14 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. A T-division with 23 degrees of freedom: Correct
