Solution

The most appropriate statistical test to use in this scenario would be the Two-sample t-test. This test is used to determine if two population means are equal. The two groups (exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy) are independent of each other and the psychologist is interested in finding out if there is a significant difference in the mean phobia symptom severity score between these two groups after the therapy. Therefore, the Two-sample t-test is the most suitable choice.
