    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 20, mean = 56, sd = 4.81 Sample 2: n = 14, mean = 56, sd = 3.38. The pooled variance estimator takes the value of 18.38. 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 34 degrees of freedom
    2. FALSE: An F-division with 19 and 13 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: An F-division with 20 and 14 degrees of freedom
    4. TRUE: A T distribution with 32 degrees of freedom

    1. A T-distribution with 34 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    2. An F-division with 19 and 13 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    3. An F-division with 20 and 14 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. A T-division with 32 degrees of freedom: Correct
