When testing for differences of means, you can base statistical inference on the
a. Student t distribution in general
b. normal distribution regardless of sample size
c. Student t distribution if the underlying population distribution of Y is normal, the
two groups have the same variances, and you use the pooled standard error formula
d. Chi-squared distribution with ( nm nw 2 ) degrees of freedom

Assume that you have 125 observations on the height (H) and weight (W) of your peers
in college. Let sHW 68, sH 3.5, sw 68 . The sample correlation coefficient is

Cannot be computed since males and females have not been separated out.
You have collected data on the average weekly amount of studying time (T) and grades
(G) from the peers at your college. Changing the measurement from minutes into hours
has the following effect on the correlation coefficient:
a. decreases the rTG by dividing the original correlation coefficient by 60
b. results in a higher rTG
2
c. cannot be computed since some students study less than an hour per week
d. does not change the rTG
