    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 12, mean = 39, sd = 9.36 Sample 2: n = 17, mean = 33, sd = 11.67. The pooled variance estimator takes the value 116.4. 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 27 degrees of freedom
    2. FALSE: An F-division with 11 and 16 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: A T-division with 29 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: An F-division with 12 and 17 degrees of freedom

    1. A T-distribution with 27 degrees of freedom: Correct
    2. An F-division with 11 and 16 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    3. A T-division with 29 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. An F-division with 12 and 17 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
