b.

a small variance for the difference scores and a large standard error

c.

a large variance for the difference scores and a small standard error

d.

a.

a small variance for the difference scores and a small standard error

b.

a small variance for the difference scores and a large standard error

c.

a large variance for the difference scores and a small standard error

d.

a large variance for the difference scores and a large standard error

Explanation / Answer

The differences are consistent: hence, there is a small variance in the difference scores.

As the variance of the differences is small, then the standard error is also small. Thus, it is
