Answer 1

The independent sample t-test is used to compare the means of two independent groups. In this context, the scenario that would require an independent sample t-test is: Mac users are compared to Windows users in terms of the average number of hours they spend online.

What is the test?

This scenario involves comparing the means of two independent groups (Mac users and Windows users) with respect to the average number of hours spent online.

The other scenarios involve comparing means within the same group or comparing different variables within the same group, which may involve different statistical tests but not necessarily the independent sample t-test.
