    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 16, mean = 43, sd = 5.77 Sample 2: n = 15, mean = 41, sd = 3.31. The pooled variance estimator takes the value 22.51. 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 15 and 14 degrees of freedom
    2. FALSE: A T distribution with 31 degrees of freedom
    3. TRUE: A T distribution with 29 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: An F-division with 16 and 15 degrees of freedom

    1. An F-distribution with 15 and 14 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    2. A T-division with 31 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    3. A T-division with 29 degrees of freedom: Correct
    4. An F-division with 16 and 15 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
