"A driving instructor is investigating whether the time a driver spends in a driverâs education course improves their score on the driverâs test. The instructor randomly selected 10 drivers from a driverâs education course and recorded the number of hours each driver attended the driverâs education course and their corresponding score on the driverâs test. Assuming all conditions for inference are met, which of the following significance tests should be used for the investigation?"

a. A chi-square test of independence
b. A two-sample t-test for a difference between means
c. A two-sample z-test for a difference between proportions
d. A linear regression t-test for slope
e. A matched pairs t-test for a mean difference

Answer:

e. A matched pairs t-test for a mean difference

Step-by-step explanation:

When the observations from two samples are paired either naturally or by design we find the differences between the two observations of each pair.Treating the differences as a random sample from a normal population with mean ud= u1-u2 and unknwn standard deviation σd we perform one sample t- test on them. This is called the paired difference t- test or a paired t- test.

Suppose 10 young recruits are given a physical training by the Army . Their weights are recorded before and after the training. These observations constitutes natural pairing .

When we eliminate the undesireable sources of variation to take observations in pairs , this is called pairing by design.
