10. The scores of one student on two different IQ tests are as follows:

IQ Test A    IQ Test B
X=140    X=120
Mean=105 Mean=100

20. Five groups of listeners are tested on a speech intelligibility task with signals with signals presented at the same sensation level to all listeners. The groups are (a) normal hearing listeners (n=10), (b) listeners with a mild conductive hearing loss (n=10), (c) listeners with a moderate conductive hearing loss (n=10), (d) listeners with a mild sensorineural hearing loss (n=10), and (e) listeners with a moderate sensorineural hearing loss (n=10). Between group variance = 700, within-group variance = 309. Identify the degree's of freedom. Identify the critical value.
