Medium wrist size is significantly different than small wrist size. 2. Large wrist size is significantly different than medium wrist size. 3. Large wrist size is significantly different than small wrist size. 4. There is no significant difference due to wrist size.

Explanation: In many situations we need to compare the counts of an event in two populations to see if the populations differ statistically in terms of the event. The Chi-square procedure or Fisher's exact method are usually used to generate p-values for assessing the difference. It's an easy task to perform when there are only a couple of events under consideration. However, if the number of events increase to hundreds, like adverse events in clinical trials, we want the work to be done in an automatic way. proc ttest, is used for both the single sample inference, two independent samples and matched pairs.
The ttest procedure performs t-tests for one sample, two samples and paired observations. The single-sample t-test compares the mean of the sample to a given number (which you supply). The dependent-sample t-test compares the difference in the means from the two variables to a given number (usually 0), while taking into account the fact that the scores are not independent. The independent samples t-test compares the difference in the means from the two groups to a given value (usually 0). In other words, it tests whether the difference in the means is 0.
Question : Given the following GLM procedure output: Which statement is correct at an alpha level of 0.05? 1. School*Gender should be removed because it is non-significant. 2. Gender should be removed because it is non-significant. 3. School should be removed because it is significant. 4. Gender should not be removed due to its involvement in the significant interaction.
