Question: Two different types of disc centrifuges are used to measure the particle size in latex paint. A gallon of paint is randomly selected, and 10 specimens are taken from it for testing on each of the centrifuges. There will be two sets of data, 10 data values each, as a result of the testing. Do the two sets of data represent dependent or independent samples? Explain.

Dependent because the samples are not separate.

Independent because the samples are separate.

Independent because the samples are not separate.
