Question
  1. Researchers are interested in comparing two floor waxes. Ten floors were chosen at random from a Brooklyn warehouse. Each floor was dividedinto two sections. One wax was applied to one section and the other wax was applied to the other section. After one week of wear, each section was tested for the amount of wax remaining. The results are presented in the table below.

In this scenario, which test is likely to be most appropriate?

 

   
    1. Separate-variance test for the difference between two means

 

   
    1. Pooled-variance test for the difference between two means

 

   
    1. Z test for the difference between proportions

 

   
    1. Paired difference test
