When the Population Variances Are Unequal, We Estimate Each Population $\mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 }$

question 126

True/False

When the population variances are unequal, we estimate each population variance with its sample variance. Hence, the unequal-variances test statistic of $\mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 }$ is approximately Student t-distributed with n₁ + n₂ - 2 degrees of freedom.
