Which of the following statements are true?   The pooled-variances t-test is used whenever the population standard deviations are assumed to be equal regardless of the sample size.   The unequal-variances t-test is used whenever the population standard deviations are unknown and cannot be assumed to be equal.   The z-test can be used as a close approximation to the unequal-variances t-test when the population standard deviations are not assumed to be equal, but samples are large (each n 30).   All of these statements are true.   None of these statements is true
