Twenty randomly selected statistics students were given 15 multiple-choice questions and 15 open-ended questions, all on the same Material. The professor was interested in determining on which type of questions the students scored higher. This experiment is an example of
A. a one sample test of means
B. a two sample test of means
C. a paired t-test
D. a test of proportions
Quantitative Analysis
- The measurements of weight of 100 units of a product manufactured by two parallel processes have same mean but the standard of process A is 15 while that of B is 7. What can you conclude?
- What is the variable used to predict the value of another called?
- What is the chart called when the paired data (the dependent and independent variables) are plotted?
- For a hypothesis test comparing two population means, the combined degrees of freedom are 24. Which of the following statements about the two sample sizes in NOT true? Assume the population standard deviations are equal.
- Which of the following conditions must be met to conduct a test for the difference in two sample means?
