When describing the sampling distribution for an independent groups t-test (the text refers to this as the comparison distribution), we know that: a. Its standard deviation will be the same as the population standard deviation. b. Its mean will be zero. c. It will be a normal distribution. d. Both (b) and (c).

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

The t-distribution is used in constructing a confidence interval for a population mean in which of the following cases? A) The population is normally distributed and the population standard deviation is estimated from a small random sample. B) The random sample is small and population variance is unknown. C) The sample size is small, the population is normal, and the population standard deviation is known. D) The population is normally distributed, the sample size is 16, and the variance of the sample mean is unknown. E) Both A and D

In each part, assume that the population standard deviation is known. Decide whether use of the $z$ -interval procedure to obtain a confidence interval for the population mean is reasonable. Explain your answers. a. The variable under consideration is very close to being normally distributed, and the sample size is $10 .$ b. The variable under consideration is very close to being normally distributed, and the sample size is $75 .$ c. The sample data contain outliers, and the sample size is $20 .$
