Introduction
Demystifying statistics! – Lecture 7 SBCM, Joint Program – Riyadh
• T test, also called Student’s t test
• Introduced in 1908 by a chemist working for the Guinness brewery in Dublin, Ireland
• ‘Student’ was his pen name

Applications of t test
Demystifying statistics! – Lecture 7 SBCM, Joint Program – Riyadh
• Test the single mean in single sample case • Test the equality of two means in double sample case
• Independent samples(Independent t test) • Dependent samples (Paired t test)
• Test the significance of observed correlation coefficient • Test the significance of observed partial correlation coefficient • Test the significance of observed regression coefficient

Assumptions of independent t test
Demystifying statistics! – Lecture 7 SBCM, Joint Program – Riyadh
• Independence of groups • Data collected follows a continuous or ordinal scale • Simple random sample • Normal distribution (Reasonably large sample size) • Homogeneity of variance
![Page 7: Student's t test and variations](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021507/58f9b1341a28abc3328b45d1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Assumptions of paired t test

![Page 12: Student's t test and variations](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021507/58f9b1341a28abc3328b45d1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Independent samples t test
Demystifying statistics! – Lecture 7 SBCM, Joint Program – Riyadh
• Equal or unequal sample sizes, unequal variance
• Welch’s t test
![Page 13: Student's t test and variations](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021507/58f9b1341a28abc3328b45d1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Paired t test
Demystifying statistics! – Lecture 7 SBCM, Joint Program – Riyadh
• Used when the samples are dependent
• Degree of freedom: n - 1
![Page 14: Student's t test and variations](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021507/58f9b1341a28abc3328b45d1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
