Hypothesis testing with two samples helps statisticians compare two groups of variables. In this module, we are exploring how to apply hypothesis testing with two samples to population means. Before you can begin your steps in hypothesis testing for the population mean, you must determine if the samples are independent or dependent.

In the initial post, discuss the difference between independent and dependent samples in hypothesis testing with two samples. Provide a unique example of an independent hypothesis test problem and a second unique example of a dependent hypothesis test problem. You do not need to run a hypothesis test. Instead, help to identify the differences between these two types of samples in your words.
