    t Test numericals for practice

    1. Is there a significant difference in test scores between 25 students who received in-person instruction and 25
    students who received online instruction? The mean test score for the in-person group is 80 (SD = 5) and for the
    online group is 75 (SD = 7).

    This is most likely a two-tailed test. Here's why:

    No specified direction: You haven't mentioned a specific direction for the difference in scores. The question asks about a
    significant difference, not if the in-person group scored higher or lower than the online group.
    Two-tailed tests are default: In hypothesis testing, unless there's a strong reason to suspect an effect only in one direction, a
    two-tailed test is the standard approach. This allows you to see if the scores differ significantly in either direction (in-person
    higher or online higher).
    Therefore, by not specifying a direction and using a common scenario for hypothesis testing, this analysis is likely a two-tailed
    test.

    the null hypothesis is "the mean scores for the two groups are equal"
    The alternate hypothesis is "there is difference between the mean scores of two groups"

    Conclusion :
    we can conclude that there is a significant difference between the test scores of students who receive in-person instruction versus
    those who receive online instruction.

    Necessary conditions for the application of t-test


    The conditions that are necessary to apply T-test are as follows –

    • The sample size should be small.


    • Statistic follows a normal distribution.
    • The value of scaling terms is known.
    • Comparison is only between two groups.

    Things to remember
    • A t-test is used to verify if there is a considerable difference between the averages of two
    groups.
    • There are two types of t-tests: the independent samples t test formula and the paired
    samples t-test.
    • The t-test is a test used when the objective is hypothesis testing in statistics.
    • A greater t-value represents a significant difference between the two groups.
    • A smaller t-value represents the difference between the two groups is negligible.
