    Question

    Suppose a researcher has four averages for which she wants to calculate multiple comparison Tukey confidence intervals wants to calculate. There are four averages and thus a total of six possible differences between averages and thus six confidence intervals. The researcher also calculates for comparison the ordinary 95% confidence intervals out. Two of these ordinary 95% confidence intervals are (3, 7) and (12, 16). Now what are possibly Tukey 95% confidence intervals that correspond to the above two ordinary confidence intervals?


    1. FALSE: (3.5, 6.5) and (12.5, 15.5)
    2. FALSE: (4, 6) and (12.5, 15.5)
    3. TRUE: (2.5, 7.5) and (11.5, 16.5)

    1. (3.5, 6.5) and (12.5, 15.5): Incorrect
    2. (4, 6) and (12.5, 15.5): Incorrect
    3. (2.5, 7.5) and (11.5, 16.5): Correct
