    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 12, mean = 44, sd = 9.22 Sample 2: n = 16, mean = 31, sd = 6.85. The pooled variance estimator has the value 63.04. 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 26 degrees of freedom
    2. FALSE: An F-division with 12 and 16 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: An F-division with 11 and 15 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: A T distribution with 28 degrees of freedom

    1. A T-distribution with 26 degrees of freedom: Correct
    2. An F-division with 12 and 16 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    3. An F-division with 11 and 15 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. A T-division with 28 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
