    Question

    From each of two normally distributed populations with equal variances a sample is drawn.______________. Sample 1: n = 15, mean = 32, sd = 6.32 Sample 2: n = 11, mean = 45, sd = 7.49. The pooled variance estimator takes the value 46.67. 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 14 and 10 degrees of freedom
    2. TRUE: A T distribution with 24 degrees of freedom
    3. FALSE: A T distribution with 26 degrees of freedom
    4. FALSE: An F-division with 15 and 11 degrees of freedom

    1. An F-distribution with 14 and 10 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    2. A T-division with 24 degrees of freedom: Correct
    3. A T-division with 26 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
    4. An F-division with 15 and 11 degrees of freedom: Incorrect
