In carrying out a two independent sample t-test for means, I
have a choice of selecting "pooled" or "not pooled". If I select
the "pooled" option, then I am assuming:
a. the sample means of the two groups are the same
b. the population means of the two groups are the same
c. the population variances of the two groups are the
same
d. the sample variances of the two groups are the same
e. the sample sizes of the two groups are the same
