Suppose that, for two populations, the distributions of the variable under consideration have the same shape. Further suppose that you want to perform a hypothesis test based on independent random samples to compare the two population means. In each case, decide whether you would use the pooled t-test or the Mann-Whitney test and give a reason for your answer. You know that the distributions of the variable are a. normal. b. not normal.
