Sample size 15 9


Assume that the two population variances are equal. The analyst wants to test whether the two population
means are differ at 5% level of significance.
The test statistic for the test is

1. 6.5962
2. 5.2563
3. 5.5236
4. 4.6091
5. 0.9052

QUESTION 5

The following table contains information on matched pair samples that were drawn from the same population.


Sample 1 18 12 21 22 16 14 17 18

Sample 2 21 11 23 20 20 17 17 22

Differences -3 1 -2 2 -4 -3 0 -4


Assume that the two samples are dependent and normally distributed.
• The mean of the differences is -1.625.
• The sample standard deviation of the differences is 2.3261.
A researcher wants to test whether the two samples differ at 5% level of significance. The critical value is

1. 2.306
2. 2.998
3. 1.895
4. 1.860
5. 2.365

QUESTION 6

The following table contains information on matched pair samples that were drawn from the same population.


Sample 1 18 12 21 22 16 14 17 18

Sample 2 21 11 23 20 20 17 17 22

Differences -3 1 -2 2 -4 -3 0 -4


Assume that the two samples are dependent and normally distributed.
• The mean of the differences is -1.625.
• The sample standard deviation of the differences is 2.3261.

The 95% confidence interval for the population difference equal to

1. (-3.57; 0.32)
2. (-1.625; 1.945)
3. (-3.798; 0.032)
4. (-3.237; -0.013)
