1. When testing the null hypothesis using the confidence interval estimate of the

Populations,” and the discussion on the “Confidence Interval Estimate of the Difference

degrees of freedom formula #10.2 (p. 371).

5. In testing for the differences between the means of two independent populations
where the variances in each population are unknown but assumed equal, the degrees
of freedom are:

Your Answer: n - 2.
Correct Answer: n1 + n2 - 2.

  INCORRECT. See Section 10.1, “Comparing the Means of Two Independent

Populations,” degrees of freedom formula #10.2 (p. 371).

6. In testing for differences between the means of two independent populations the null
hypothesis states that:

Your Answer: the difference between the two population means is significantly
greater than zero.
Correct Answer: the difference between the two population means is not
significantly different from zero.

  INCORRECT. Refer to the section on "Pooled-Variance t Test for the Difference Between
Two Means," (p. 371).

7. In testing for differences between the means of two related populations (i.e., Matched-
Pairs) where the variance of the differences is unknown, the degrees of freedom are:

Your Answer: n1 + n2 - 1.
Correct Answer: n - 1.

  INCORRECT. Refer to Section 10.2, “Comparing the Means of Two Related Populations,”
and see Formula #10.5, p. 382.

8. If we are testing for the difference between the means of two related samples with
samples of n1 = 20 and n2 = 20, the number of degrees of freedom is equal to:

Your Answer: 39
Correct Answer: 19

  INCORRECT. Refer to Section 10.2, “Comparing the Means of Two Related Populations,”
and see Formula #10.5, p. 382.

9. When testing for differences between the means of two related populations, the null
 hypothesis states that:

Your Answer: the population mean difference is not significantly different from zero.

  CORRECT. Refer to Section 10.2, “Comparing the Means of Two Related Populations,”
and see Formula #10.5, p. 382.

10. The probability distribution used to test for differences between two population
variances is the

Your Answer: F distribution

  CORRECT. See Section 10.4, “F Test for the Difference Between Two Variances,” and
refer to Equation #10.9, p. 397.

11. When testing for the difference between two population variances with sample sizes of
n1 = 8 and n2 = 10, the number of degrees of freedom are:

Your Answer: d.f. = 18

Correct Answer: numerator d.f. = 7, denominator d.f. = 9

  INCORRECT. See Section 10.4, “F Test for the Difference Between Two Variances,” and
refer to Equation #10.9, p. 397.

12. The hypothesis test for the equality of two population variances is based on:

Your Answer: the ratio of the two sample variances.

  CORRECT. See Section 10.4, “F Test for the Difference Between Two Variances,” and
refer to Equation #10.9, p. 397.

13. A Pooled-Variance t Test for the Difference Between Two Independent Means may be
used when

Your Answer: the sample sizes are equal.

Correct Answer: the two population variances are found not to be significantly
different

  INCORRECT. See Section 10.1, “Comparing the Means of Two Independent

Populations,” (discussion on bottom of page 375).

14. Refer to Figure 10.3 on page 373, “Microsoft Excel t test results for the two display
locations. Based on the results presented, the pooled-variance would be equal to

18. To investigate the efficacy of a diet, a random sample of 16 male patients is drawn
from a population of adult male volunteers is collected. The weight of each individual in
the sample is taken at the start of the diet, and at a medical follow-up four weeks later.

a normal distribution. What would be the appropriate statistical test to conduct the
hypothesis test?

the sample is taken at the start of the diet, and at a medical follow-up four weeks later.
Assume that the population of differences in weight before versus after the diet follow
