    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 10, mean = 40, sd = 8.79 Sample 2: n = 20, mean = 52, sd = 12.42. The pooled variance estimator takes the value 129.51. 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 28 degrees of freedom
    2. FALSE: An F-division with 9 and 19 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: An F-division with 10 and 20 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: A T distribution with 30 degrees of freedom

    1. A T-distribution with 28 degrees of freedom: Correct
    2. An F-division with 9 and 19 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    3. An F-division with 10 and 20 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. A T-division with 30 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
