Independent Sample/F Distribution/Type I Error
a. What is an independent sample? What is a related sample? When should researchers use different hypothesis tests for independent and related samples? Is one type of sample preferable over the other?
b. What is a Type I error? Explain how the cumulative Type I error affects your decision making. How is the two independent sample t-test different from ANOVA?
c. Why is the F distribution important? How do you determine if a significant difference exists among the groups in ANOVA? How do you determine differences between the groups in ANOVA?

Solution Preview
a. An independent sample is one in which the two variables which are being tested in the hypotheses are not related or influenced by others. A dependent sample is one in which the two variables are influenced by each other or follow the 'before-after' relationship. Researchers use different hypothesis tests for independent and related ...
Solution Summary
Independent Sample, F Distribution and Type I Error are analyzed.
