A researcher would like to test whether political attitudes of college freshmen differ from those of college seniors. Samples of 40 freshmen and 40 seniors are obtained, and each student is given a questionnaire measuring political attitude on the scale of 0 (very conservative) to 100 (very liberal). The average score for the freshmen is 52 with a standard deviation of 6, and the seniors average 39 with a standard deviation of 6.9. Select the appropriate hypothesis test(s). a. independent...
