How to Perform a t-Test (Two-Sample)

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

A two-sample t-test compares the means of two independent groups, checking if they differ significantly. For instance, to see if group A’s average is different from group B’s, we compute a t-statistic using difference of sample means, standard deviations, and sample sizes. We then compare the t-statistic to a critical value or p-value for a given significance level. If t exceeds the threshold, we reject the null hypothesis of no difference. This method is vital in clinical trials (treatment vs. placebo), evaluating production lines, or any scenario comparing two distinct populations. Strong t-test skills ensure robust data conclusions and minimized errors.
