Types of "T-Test" - Research Methodology, Hypothesis Testing Hypothesis (अनुमानम्) is a predictive statement, capable of being tested by scientific methods, that relates an independent variable to some dependent variable. The t-test compares the actual difference between two means in relation to the variation in the data (expressed as the standard deviation of the difference between the means).

 Hypothesis (अनुमानम्) is a predictive
statement, capable of being tested by
scientific methods, that relates an
independent variables to some
dependent variable.
 A hypothesis states what we are looking
for and it is a proportion which can be
put to a test to determine its validity.
 Example - Students who receive counseling will
show a greater increase in creativity than students
not receiving counseling.
 Clear and precise.
 Capable of being tested.
 Stated relationship between variables.
 limited in scope and must be specific.
 Stated as far as possible in most simple terms so
that the same is easily understand by all concerned.
But one must remember that simplicity of hypothesis
has nothing to do with its significance.
 Consistent with most known facts.
 Responsive to testing with in a reasonable time. One
can’t spend a life time collecting data to test it.
 Explain what it claims to explain; it should have
empirical reference.

 The Alternative hypothesis is negation of
null hypothesis and is denoted by 𝐻𝑎
If Null is given as
𝐻0: 𝜇 = 𝜇0
Then alternative Hypothesis can be written
as
𝐻𝑎: 𝜇 ≠ 𝜇0
𝐻𝑎: 𝜇 > 𝜇0
𝐻𝑎: 𝜇 < 𝜇0
 It is an assertion that we hold as true unless
we have sufficient statistical evidence to
conclude otherwise.
 Null Hypothesis is denoted by 𝐻0.
 If a population mean is equal to
hypothesized mean then Null Hypothesis can
be written as
𝐻0: 𝜇 = 𝜇0

4. State the null (Ho)
and alternate (Ha)
Hypothesis
State a
confidence
level; 99%, 95%.
Decide a test
statistics; z-test,
T-test, F-test.
Calculate the
value of test

Calculate the
p-value at given
significance level
from the table
Compare
the p-value with
calculated
value
Accept Ho

Reject Ho
± 0.05 <
Calculated
value
t value > ±1.96,
P value < ± 0.05,
Null hypothesis will reject.

If groups are two. If groups are more than two.
A t-test can only be used when comparing the means of two groups (a.k.a. pairwise
comparison). If you want to compare more than two groups, or if you want to do multiple
pairwise comparisons, use an anova test or a post-hoc test.

The t-test compares the actual
difference between two means in
relation to the variation in the data
(expressed as the standard deviation of
the difference between the means).

Mostly we have heard these types of claims around us -
1. You are conducting an experiment to see if a given therapy works to reduce test anxiety in a sample
of college students.
2. Any green tea company claims that if you will take their products regularly for detoxing, you can
loose 5 Kg weight in a month.
3. One physics coaching center claims that all students will get marks above 80 in one month
coaching.
4. Any height booster powder company claims that child’s height will increase 2 inches in just 6
months.
In one sample T Test, Population means µ compares with sample mean x̄
So null hypothesis H0 : µ = x̄
One sample T test 𝒕 =
𝝁−ഥ
𝒙
𝝈
𝒏−𝟏
Where 𝝈 = std. deviation
n = sample of the population
µ = Population mean
𝒙 = sample mean

Where µ = Population mean = 5 Kg
𝒙 = sample mean = 4.02
T = -6.212
which is greater than ± 1.96
P = 0.000
Which is smaller than ± 0.05
Conclusion:
Null hypothesis has been rejected.
Company’s statement (claim) is wrong.

10. In Independent sample T Test,
Comparing two different groups which are independent.
So null hypothesis H0 : x̄1 = x̄2
Where: x̄1 is sample mean of group 1 and
x̄2 is sample mean of group 2.
For Example -
1. In a library, males and females are spending equal time.
2. Girls and boys are spending same money on hair care products.
3. In two buildings, daily water consumption is same.
4. Job retention is same for males in females in a company.
Two steps
Assumption
(Levene) test
T Test
(to know if samples are
comparable or not)
Independent
Sample T-Test
Assumption
Fulfilled (if F value of
Levene’s testing > ± 0.05)
Not Fulfilled (if F value of
Levene’s testing < ± 0.05)
Large sample
Small sample

Where 𝒙𝟏 = sample mean Group 1 = 154.60
𝒙𝟐 = sample mean Group 2 = 119.78
sin. value = 0.120 (Levene’s testing value Which is greater than ± 0.05 )
i.e. assumption is fulfilled.
(if assumption is fulfilled check upper value of “t”
if assumption is not fulfilled check lower value of t.)
T = 5.070
which is greater than ± 1.96
P = 0.000
Which is smaller than ± 0.05
Conclusion:
Null hypothesis has been rejected.
Travel expenses of audit department
and sales department are not same.

(Post- sample)
* Sample will be same for pre-sample and post- sample.
For exam -
Skill test is same for a class before the workshop and after the workshop.
Salary is same for employes of a company before 1 year tranning programme and after
programme.
Sale is same of a fashion store before online adviretesment and after advirtesment.
In Paired sample T Test,
Comparing of one group before and after experiment.
So null hypothesis H0 : x̄1 = x̄2
Where: x̄1 is sample mean of group before experiment.
x̄2 is sample mean of group after experiment.

Spending hours for Yoga and gym are equal in three months of a model.
In Repeated sample T Test,
Comparing two tests for one sample.

x̄2 is sample mean for test 2.
