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.
