Question

1.     When the means of two unrelatedsamples are used to compare two populations, we are dealing withtwo dependent means ___ T/F  

2.     If s is unknown whencompleting a hypothesis test about the population mean, then thebest estimate for the unknown standard deviation is s._____   T/F   

3.     The number of degrees of freedom forthe critical value of t is equal to the smaller ofn1 -1 or n2 -1 when makinginferences about the difference between two independent means forthe case when the degrees of freedom are estimated. ___T/F  

4.     Pretest versus post-test (beforeversus after) studies are usually independent samples. ____ T/F

5.     The chi-square distribution is usedfor inferences about the population mean m when thestandard deviation s is unknown. ____ T/F  

6.     The t-distribution is usedfor all inferences about a population’s variance. ___ T/F

7.     The F distribution is asymmetric distribution. ____ T/F
