-Refer to Table 6. Which statistical test is most likely being reported in this table?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The table presents the means and standard deviations for two groups (usual care and guided imagery) for four different measures of pain outcomes. The statistical test being reported is an independent groups t-test, with the pooled variance formula, as evidenced by the t-value, degrees of freedom, and p-value reported for each outcome.
