What do we learn from this? Answer the following questions.
- Compare "Pooled" and "Not Pooled" from Study 4: What is the benefit in assuming that standard deviations are equal (when they are exactly equal)? Which of our three metrics does this assumption not affect and which does this assumption affect and in what way?
