A university vice president for academic affairs randomly selects 15 tenured faculty from the College of Education and 15 tenured faculty from the College of Business. Each faculty member is then asked to rate his or her job satisfaction on a scale of 1(very dissatisfied) to 10(very satisfied). Would this be an example of independent samples or dependent samples? Explain.

Answer to Question 1

Independent; We have two different samples of tenured faculty from two different colleges.

Answer to Question 2

Dependent; In this case, we do not really have two different samples of persons, but rather before and after measurement for the same individuals.
