Suppose we continue analyzing this study design involving the comparison of two independent population means.Suppose further that we assume the standard deviations of both populations to be unequal, thus we will NOT use a pooled variance. Finally, suppose we have found a test statistic. Now me must convert this test statistic into a p-value, but to do so we must have a relevant approximation for degrees of freedom. There are two available from which to choose.Describe these two approximations for the degrees of freedom and comment on the differences between them (i.e. which is more conservative? Which is better to use? Which is easier to use?)
