    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 17, mean = 26, sd = 11.76 Sample 2: n = 17, mean = 50, sd = 7.48. The pooled variance estimator takes the value of 97.12. 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 32 degrees of freedom
    2. FALSE: A T distribution with 34 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: An F-division with 17 and 17 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: An F-division with 16 and 16 degrees of freedom

    1. A T-distribution with 32 degrees of freedom: Correct
    2. A T-division with 34 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    3. An F-division with 17 and 17 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. An F-division with 16 and 16 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
