17. The first five students who arrived for the Tuesday lecture filled out a questionnaire on their attitudes toward statistics. The first five who were late for lecture were asked to fill out the same questionnaire. The appropriate design for testing the significance of the difference is

It might be independent t-test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically it is a independent t - test. Independent sample test t - test or student test is a statistical test. In this test we determine that there is a statistically significant difference between the mean when we are talking about unrelated group.

We are taking alternative and null hypothesis t - test

In null hypothesis we see that population of two unrelated groups are equal

H₀: u1 = u2

if we reject the hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis than population means

H₁: u1 ≠ u2

In this test we need a significance level that is also called alpha level who reject or accept the null hypothesis.
