Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two samples are dependent because they represent the same group of 18 people and are being compared before and after a training session. The change in weight is dependent on the individual's starting weight, making the two samples related. Sample 1 and Sample 2 are dependent because they are the weights of the same 18 people measured before and after training. The change in weight is dependent on the initial weight of each person.
