    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 12, mean = 34, sd = 8.47 Sample 2: n = 13, mean = 45, sd = 10.88. The pooled variance estimator takes the value of 96.07. It is tested whether the population averages are equal. The corresponding test size follows, if the null hypothesis is TRUE,


    1. FALSE: An F-distribution with 12 and 13 degrees of freedom
    2. FALSE: An F-division with 11 and 12 degrees of freedom
    3. TRUE: A T distribution with 23 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: A T distribution with 25 degrees of freedom

    1. An F-distribution with 12 and 13 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    2. An F-division with 11 and 12 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    3. A T-division with 23 degrees of freedom: Correct
    4. A T-division with 25 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
