Answer to Problem 32.12CYS

Correct answer: Option (a), “we must use a permutation test because we cannot be sure if the data come from a normal population”.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct answer:

The sampling distributions are applicable without the assumptions of normal distribution for any sample sizes. Moreover, the subjects are randomly assigned to the subjects.

Therefore, the correct option is (a).

Reason for the incorrect answer:

Option (b) and option (c) are incorrect because the permutation tests assume that subjects are a random sample from some population and the football players in the study were selected by random sampling.

Conclusion:

The statement “we must use a permutation test because we cannot be sure if the data come from a normal population” is true.
