Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Independent samples refer to samples that are drawn randomly from different populations and are not related to each other in any way. Dependent samples are those where the observations in one sample are related to the observations in another sample, for example, in a paired t-test. Parallel samples and exclusive samples are not common statistical terms. Divergent samples may refer to samples that show a large degree of variability or difference between them, but it is not a commonly used term in statistics.
