The I-Recognition Test is a 100- question intellectual threshold test, designed to determine a bottom score of intellectual proficiency for all Federation crew-potential staff. All answers are graded as either correct or incorrect. They want to compare the two groups on I-Recognition Test scores to see if Group A has higher scores than Group B. One theory is that the exposure to certain rays in the nebulae may have caused an augmentation of intellectual functioning among the crew.
Group A: n= 30, x= 22
group B: n= 30, x= 18
i. determine if the samples are independent, why?
