    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 11, mean = 37, sd = 5.78 Sample 2: n = 15, mean = 54, sd = 9.24. The pooled variance estimator takes the value of 63.72. 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 24 degrees of freedom
    2. FALSE: An F-division with 10 and 14 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: An F-division with 11 and 15 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: A T distribution with 26 degrees of freedom

    1. A T-distribution with 24 degrees of freedom: Correct
    2. An F-division with 10 and 14 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    3. An F-division with 11 and 15 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. A T-division with 26 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
