Chapter 11

Analyze data from experiments, quasi-experiments, and comparing groups

T-test (used to compare groups) - replaces z-test

T-test of the means of groups. Use the t-test when the population standard deviation is unknown (sigma).

Sample compared to population:
T = sample mean - population mean divided by standard error

df = degrees of freedom, typically n-1

Sample compared to sample:
T = sample1 mean - sample2 mean divided by standard error

df = n1 +n2 - 2

Pre-post comparison: (repeat measures format)
