Answer to #1

Obtain a measurement of this skill from 50 randomly selected students before the course begins. Then obtain another sample of 50 randomly selected from those completing the course. This leads to 100 measurements from 100 students (one from each student).

Answer to #2

T

Answer to #3

Randomly select 50 students from the 800 students and take a measure of this skill from each of these 50 both before and after the course. This leads to 100 measurements from 50 students (two from each student).

Answer to #4

T

Answer to #5

Dependent samples will result if the company sent the same set of 20 cars to both body shops A and B. This means the company sent 20 cars, received 40 estimates (two estimates for each car, one from each body shop).
