Mock Exam for Final

True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

____ 1. The z-test can be used to determine whether two population means are equal.

____ 2. The sampling distribution of x 1  x 2 is normal if the sampled populations are normal, and
approximately normal if the populations are nonnormal and the sample sizes n 1 and n 2 are large.

____ 3. The completely randomized design is an experimental plan that creates one treatment group for each
treatment and then randomly assigns each experimental unit to one of these groups.

____ 4. The one-way ANOVA requires that the sample sizes are all equal.

____ 5. In a two-way factor ANOVA with replications, the null hypothesis for testing whether interaction
exists is that no interaction exists, while the alternative hypothesis is that interaction does exist.

a. It is a sampling procedure that matches each unit from population A with a "twin"
from population B so that any sample observation about a unit in population A
automatically yields an associated observation about a unit in population B.

within which the unknown but true parameter presumably lies.
