The professor was interested in determining on which type of questions the students scored higher. This experiment is an example of A. a one sample test of means B. a two sample test of means C. a paired t-test D. a test of proportions 30) The measurements of weight of 100 units of a product manufactured by two parallel processes have same mean but the standard of process A is 15 while that of B is 7. What can you conclude? A. The weight of units in process A are grouped closer than in process B B. The weight of units in process B are grouped closer than in process A C. Both processes are out of control D. More data is needed to draw a conclusion
