d. ​​Two-sided t-test

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

When to use regression test?

• This is done to find the relationship between 2 variables. One dependent and one independent.

When to use Multiple regression test?

• Extension of regression test. It is used to predict value of 1 variable when it depends on 2-3 other variables. Multivariable, basically.

When to use 1-sided t-test?

• We check for possibility of relationship of something from one side. 1 side effect. With a hypothesis and its alternate.

When to use 2-sided t-test?

• This is same as 1-tailed but it looks for possibility from 2sides. A hypothesis and alternate, whether less or more.

Now, Options A and B are not right since we aren't comparing 2 variables here. People believe second born subjects are more intelligent. We have to perform a test to see whether this is true or not. One sided answer. So, we will use One-sided t-test.
