THE FOLLOWING 3 QUESTIONS HAD ERRORS IN ASBE 4e EXAM QUESTION DATABASE. CORRECTED TEXT IS MARKED BELOW

33. John wants to compare two means. His sample statistics were and . Assuming equal variances, the 95 percent confidence interval for the difference of the population means is approximately:A) [2.445, 6.195].B) [1.178, 5.083].C) [2.386, 6.786].D) [0.098, 3.195].Answer: CDifficulty: 3 HardLearning Objective: 10-09Blooms: ApplyAACSB: AnalyticTopic: Confidence Interval for the Difference of Two Means, 1 2Feedback: Pool the variances and add the degrees of freedom because equal variances are assumed.

34. John wants to compare two means. His sample statistics were and . Assuming equal variances, the pooled variance is:A) 21.06B) 24.01C) 24.75D) 14.44Answer: ADifficulty: 2 MediumLearning Objective: 10-02Blooms: ApplyAACSB: AnalyticTopic: Comparing Two Means: Independent SamplesFeedback: The pooled variance is [(n1 1)s12 + (n2 1)s22]/[(n1 1) + (n2 1)] = 21.06.

35. John wants to compare two means. His sample statistics were and . Assuming equal variances, the test statistic is:A) 2.375B) 1.017C) 1.960D) Must know to answer.Answer: BDifficulty: 2 MediumLearning Objective: 10-02Blooms: ApplyAACSB: AnalyticTopic: Comparing Two Means: Independent SamplesFeedback: The pooled variance is (n1 1)s12 + (n2 1)s22 = (9 1)(5.4) + (9 1)(3.6) = 21.06.
