A study aims to compare the social media usage rates of men and women.  Nine men and 9 women are drawn from the general population and the average time (in minutes) they spent on social media each day was compared (men’s mean = 40, sum of squares = 153; women’s mean = 48, sum of squares = 216).  What is the (a) estimated population variance for each random sample, and (b) pooled variance?       Estimated population variances = 19.13 and 27.00; Pooled variance = 23.07       Estimated population variances = 19.13 and 27.00; Pooled variance = 20.50       Estimated population variances = 17.00 and 24.00; Pooled variance = 20.50       Estimated population variances = 17.00 and 24.00; Pooled variance = 23.07

Question

A study aims to compare the social media usage rates of men and women.  Nine men and 9 women are drawn from the general population and the average time (in minutes) they spent on social media each day was compared (men’s mean = 40, sum of squares = 153; women’s mean = 48, sum of squares = 216).  What is the (a) estimated population variance for each random sample, and (b) pooled variance?

 

   

Estimated population variances = 19.13 and 27.00; Pooled variance = 23.07

 

   

Estimated population variances = 19.13 and 27.00; Pooled variance = 20.50

 

   

Estimated population variances = 17.00 and 24.00; Pooled variance = 20.50

 

   

Estimated population variances = 17.00 and 24.00; Pooled variance = 23.07
