Question

Based on the outputs from SPSS, and looking at the appropriate table, can the variances be pooled based on this data set?

Options:

Yes, because 1.206 is smaller than 2.070

Yes, because 2.409 is smaller than 2.070

Yes, because 1.035 is smaller than 2.206

No, because all standard deviations for the data set are different

Answer 1

No, the variances cannot be pooled because all the standard deviations for the data set are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the outputs from SPSS, we can determine whether the variances can be pooled using the data set. In this case, the appropriate table shows that the variances cannot be pooled because all the standard deviations for the data set are different.

The options mentioned in the question are incorrect. To pool the variances in SPSS, the standard deviations should be approximately the same.
