Suppose you were hired to conduct a study to find out which of four brands of soda college students think taste better. In your study, students are given a blind taste test. You randomly divide your sample of students into one of four groups, with one fourth of the students tasting each drink. The ratings are given on a scale of 1 (awful) to 5 (delicious). Which type of hypothesis test would be the best to compare these ratings? Correlation 2 independent sample t-test 2-dependent sample t-test One-way-ANOVA

Which statistical test can you use to answer questions of this nature? One-sample t-test Independent samples t-test Paired samples t-test One-way ANOVA Two-way ANOVA Correlation Chi-square goodness-of-fit test Regression

Select the appropriate statistical test for the following scenario: You are interested in assessing if there is a significant relationship between a student's major (psychology or biology) and the number of hours spent studying. You selected different individuals who studied psychology and placed them in the "psychology" group, and different individuals who studied biology and placed them in the "biology" group. Then you measured the number of hours spent studying. Which statistical test would you use for this study? Dependent t-test Independent t-test Two-Way ANOVA Correlation
