Question

Independent samples are preferred over dependent samples.

True or False

Answer 1

FALSE

A dependent samples t test is preferred over an independent samples t test

Dependent sample t test is preferred because it has less error as compared independent samples t test.

This provides more statistical power to dependent sample t test.

Providing more power means rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false or having low possibility of making a type II error. Low probability of type II error means better chances of getting a significant result.

So, given statement is false.
