A researcher wishes to compare IQ scores of doctors and non-doctors. She obtains a random sample of 300 professionals of each category who take an IQ test and determines each individual’s IQ.
Determine whether the following sampling is dependent or independent.
' ” ' A. The sampling is independent because an individual selected for one sample does dictate which individual is to be in the second sample.
” ' B. The sampling is dependent because an individual selected for one sample does not dictate which individual is to be in the second sample. '.o.' C . The sampling is independent because an individual selected for one sample does not dictate which individual is to be in the second sample. ” ' D.

A researcher takes measurements of water clarity at the same location in a lake on the same dates during the course of a year and repeats the measurements on the same dates S years The researcher immerses a weighted disk painted black and white and measures the deplh (in inches) at which it is no longer visible. The collected data is given in the accompanying lable. Let X represent the initial depth and let Y represent the depth S years later. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.

(a) Why is it important to take the measurements on the same date?
‹j› A. Tnose are the same dates that all biologists use to take water clarity samples.
‹j› B. Using the same dates maximizes the difference in water clarity.
‹•\ C. Using the same dates makes the second sample dependent on the first.
‹j› D. Using the same dates makes it easier to remember to take s amples.
(b) Does the evidence suggest that the cIari\y of the lake is improving at the a = 0.05 level of significance? Note that the normal probability plot and boxplot of the data indicate that the differences are approximately normally distributed with no outliers. Choose the correct confusion below.
