    What is Independent two samples t-test?

    The independent samples t-Test is


    probably the single most widely used test
    in statistics.
    It is used to compare differences
    between separate groups.
     In Psychology, these groups are often
    composed by randomly assigning research
    participants to conditions.
     However, this test can also be used to
    explore differences in naturally occurring
    groups.
     The Independent Samples t Test is a
    parametric test.
    The variables used in this test are known
    as:
     Dependent variable, or test variable
     Independent variable, or grouping
    variable
    The Independent Samples t Test is
    commonly used to test the following:
     Statistical differences between the
    means of two groups
     Statistical differences between the
    means of two interventions
     Statistical differences between the
    means of two change scores
    Data Requirements

    1.Dependent variable that is continuous


    (i.e.,
    interval or ratio level)
    2. Independent variable that is categorical
    and
    has exactly two categories
    3. Cases that have values on both the
    dependent
    and independent variables
    4. Independent samples/groups (i.e.,
    independence
    of observations)
    5. Random sample of data from the
    population
    6. Normal distribution (approximately) of the
    dependent variable for each group
    7. Homogeneity of variances (i.e.,
    variances approximately equal across
    groups)
    8. No outliers
    Examples:
     We may be interested in differences of
    emotional intelligence between males and females.
     We may be interested in differences in the
    level of productivity of teachers classified as to
    age , sex and marital status.
     We may be interested in differences of life
    satisfaction of the students who underwent
    counseling.
    These are our hypotheses
    Underwent Did not Underwent
    Counseling Counseling
    1. Compute the mean of each group.
    Did not Underwent
    Underwent Counseling Counseling
    2. Compute the variance in each group.
    3. Compute the standard error of difference
    between means.
    4. Compute the t- statistics
    5. Compute the degree of critical value
    6. Compare the t-statistics (computed value) to
    critical value (from the table)
     If the t-statistics is greater than compared
    to the table t, reject the Null Hypothesis

    Conclusion: There is significant difference


    in the life satisfaction of the students who
    underwent the life counseling.
    Summary
     The independent samples t-test is
    probably the single most widely used test
    in statistics.
     It is used to compare differences
    between separate groups.
     Often composed by randomly assigning
    research participants to conditions.
    1. Compute the mean of each group.
    2. Compute the variance in each group.
    3. Compute the standard error of
    difference
    between means.
    4. Compute the t-
    statistics
    5. Compute the degree of critical value
    6. Compare the t-statistics (computed
    value) to critical value (from the table)
