Question

Give 2 examples of studies that can use a t-test for independent samples in the education field.

Answer 1

Independent sample t-test is a statistical technique that is used to analyze the mean comparison of two independent groups.

Example 1:

we have a population of 20 people selected randomly (10 women and 10 men). We want to know whether women’s average weight is significantly different from men’s average weight.

Hypothesis are:

H0= there is not significant difference in weight of male and female.

H1= there is significant difference in weight of male and female.

Example 2:

Suppose we want to know whether the salary of male faculty members in private institution is equal to salary of female faculty members.Researcher collected data from 20 male and 20 female faculty members in private institution to know the difference.

Hypothesis are:

H0= there is not significant difference in Male and Female Salaries.

H1= there is significant difference in Male and Female Salaries.
