This activity contains 15 questions.

In testing a hypothesis about two population means, it

the t distribution is used, which of the following assumptions is
required?
Both population means are the same.

The sample sizes are equal.

Both populations are normally distributed.

The standard deviations are not the same.

A statistician wishes to determine the difference between two

population means. A sample of 10 items from Population #1 yields a
mean of 185 with a standard deviation of 20. The sample of 12 items
from Population #2 yields a mean of 200 with a standard deviation of
25. Assume that the values are normally distributed in each
population. How many degrees of freedom are there for this test?

The t test for the difference between the means of two samples
makes what assumption?

Samples are randomly and independently drawn.

Populations are approximately normally distributed.

Sample variances are equal.

All of the above.

When testing for differences between the means of two related

populations, what is the null hypothesis?
 The difference between the two population means is equal to 1.

The difference between the two population means is greater than

0.
The difference between the two population means is equal to 0.

The difference between the two population means is greater than

1.

If you are testing a hypothesis that two population proportions are

the same, you should do which of the following?

Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Average the two sample proportions.

Use a sample proportion equal to 0.5.

Calculate a pooled value for the sample proportion.

If you test for the difference between the means of two related
samples, there are how many degrees of freedom?

(n1 + n2)/2

n-1

n1 + n 2 – 2

(n1 + n2)/2 – 1
What statistical distribution is used for testing the difference between
two population variances?

Poisson

What number of degrees of freedom do you use if you test for the
difference between two population variances with sample sizes of 10
and 14?
Use 12 for both

9 and 13

Use 11 for both

10 and 14
The test for the equality of two population variances is based on
which of the following?

The difference between the two population variances.

The ratio of the population variances to the sample variances.

The difference between the two sample variances.

The ratio of the two sample variances.

When you test for a difference between two population means from
small samples, when should a pooled variance be calculated?

Always calculate a pooled variance.

When the population variances are assumed to be equal.

When the sample sizes are different.

When a two-tail test is used.

In what type of test is the variable of interest the difference between

the values of corresponding observations rather than the individual
observations?
Difference between the means of two independent populations

Equality of variances from two independent populations

 Mean difference between two related populations

All of the above

When comparing the difference between two population proportions,

a pooled estimate of the population proportion can be used for two-
tail tests where the null hypothesis assumes that the population
proportions are equal. What is the alternate hypothesis?
H1: p1 < p2

H1: p1 not equal to p2

H1: p1 > p2

H1: p1 = p2

When comparing two population proportions, what is the null

hypothesis if the alternate hypothesis is p1 > p2?

H0: p1 > p2

H0: p1 = p2

H0: p1 < p2

H0: p1 not equal to p2

Orange juice is bottled on two different production lines. A sample of
5 bottles from the first line yields a mean of 1.2 quarts with a
standard deviation of 0.02 quarts, and a sample of 6 bottles from the
second line yields a mean of 1.15 quarts with a standard deviation of
0.01 quarts. The test statistic is equal to which of the following?
0.01

0.05
