    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 18, mean = 47, sd = 10.81 Sample 2: n = 10, mean = 29, sd = 12.64. The pooled variance estimator takes the value 131.71. 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 18 and 10 degrees of freedom
    2. TRUE: A T distribution with 26 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: An F-division with 17 and 9 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: A T distribution with 28 degrees of freedom

    1. An F distribution with 18 and 10 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    2. A T-division with 26 degrees of freedom: Correct
    3. An F-division with 17 and 9 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. A T-division with 28 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
