    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 11, mean = 26, sd = 9.35 Sample 2: n = 16, mean = 55, sd = 9.36. The pooled variance estimator takes the value 87.53. It is tested whether the population averages are equal. The corresponding test size follows, if the null hypothesis is TRUE,


    1. FALSE: A T distribution with 27 degrees of freedom
    2. TRUE: A T-division with 25 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: An F-division with 11 and 16 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: An F-division with 10 and 15 degrees of freedom

    1. A T-distribution with 27 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    2. A T-division with 25 degrees of freedom: Correct
    3. An F-division with 11 and 16 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. An F-division with 10 and 15 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
