    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 13, mean = 58, sd = 8.07 Sample 2: n = 18, mean = 50, sd = 3.46. The pooled variance estimator takes the value of 33.97. 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 31 degrees of freedom
    2. TRUE: A T distribution with 29 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: An F-division with 13 and 18 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: An F-division with 12 and 17 degrees of freedom

    1. A T-distribution with 31 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    2. A T-division with 29 degrees of freedom: Correct
    3. An F-division with 13 and 18 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. An F-division with 12 and 17 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
