T-Tests

T-Tests

The T-test is a statistical method used to compare the means of two groups to determine if they are significantly different from each other.

Types of T-Tests

  • Independent T-Test: Compares means between two distinct, unrelated groups.
  • Paired T-Test: Compares means of the same group at two different time points (pre/post).

Assumptions

  • Data must be approximately normally distributed.
  • Variances between groups should be similar (homogeneity of variance).
  • Used for small sample sizes or when population standard deviation is unknown.
