What can we conclude if we reject the null hypothesis in an independent-samples t-test?
 
  a. It is likely that sampling error accounted for the differences between the sample means.
  b. It is likely that the sample means came from the same population.
  c. The difference between our sample means is unlikely to be representing zero difference in the population means.
  d. The difference between our sample means is merely a poor representation of zero difference in the population means.

Question 3

What is pooled variance?
 
  a. The weighted average of the sample variances
  b. The variance of the difference between the sample means
  c. The sum of the two sample variances
  d. The variance of the populations from which the samples were drawn

Question 4

N represents _____, whereas n represents _____.
 
  a. the total number of scores in the study; the number of scores in each sample
  b. the number of scores in each sample; the total number of scores in the study
