Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Post hoc analyses are commonly performed in studies with more than two groups when the analysis indicates that the groups are significantly different but does not indicate which groups are different. A post hoc analysis must be performed to determine which of the three groups are significantly different. In other studies, the insights obtained through the planned analyses generate further questions that can be examined with the available data.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Use of the terms statistic and parameter can be confusing because of the various populations referred to in statistical theory.

Thus, a numerical value that is the mean ( ) of the sample is a statistic; a numerical value that is the mean of the population ( ) is a parameter.
