    Question

    Suppose a researcher administered a questionnaire to 130 employees of a large company to assess how they rate their manager. The scores are between 1 (very negative) and 10 (very positive). He wants to find out whether people with a permanent contract [n=70] assess their manager differently from people with a temporary contract [n=60]. He therefore calculates the 95% confidence interval of the difference between the averages.

    Which formula should be used in this case?


    1. FALSE:  ± t ( se )
    2. FALSE:  ± t ( se )
    3. FALSE:  ( x̄d ) ± t ( se )
    4. TRUE: ( x̄1 - x̄ ) ± t ( se )

    1. False
    2. False
    3. False
    4. True
