Question

classify the two given samples as independent or dependent. sample 1: the scores of 19 students who took the act sample 2: the scores of 19 different students who took the sat independent dependent

Explanation:

To determine if the samples are independent or dependent, we analyze the relationship between the two samples. Independent samples are those where the subjects in one sample do not affect the subjects in the other sample. Here, Sample 1 consists of scores from 19 students who took the ACT, and Sample 2 consists of scores from 19 different students who took the SAT. Since the students in Sample 1 are different from those in Sample 2, the scores in one sample do not depend on the scores in the other sample. Thus, the samples are independent.

Answer:

A. Independent
