1) The t-test is a statistical test used to determine if there are any statistically significant differences between the means of two groups, and was developed by William Gosset under the pseudonym "Student".
2) The t-distribution is used for calculating t-tests when sample sizes are small and/or variances are unknown. It has a mean of zero and variance greater than one.
3) Paired t-tests are used to compare the means of two related groups when samples are paired, while unpaired t-tests are used to compare unrelated groups or independent samples.
The error (or disturbance) of an observed value is the deviation of the observed value from the (unobservable) true value of a quantity of interest (for example, a population mean), and the residual of an observed value is the difference between the observed value and the estimated value of the quantity of interest (for example, a sample mean).
Suppose there is a series of observations from a univariate distribution and we want to estimate the mean of that distribution (the so-called location model). In this case, the errors are the deviations of the observations from the population mean, while the residuals are the deviations of the observations from the sample mean.
A statistical error (or disturbance) is the amount by which an observation differs from its expected value, the latter being based on the whole population from which the statistical unit was chosen randomly. For example, if the mean height in a population of 21-year-old men is 1.75 meters, and one randomly chosen man is 1.80 meters tall, then the "error" is 0.05 meters; if the randomly chosen man is 1.70 meters tall, then the "error" is −0.05 meters. The expected value, being the mean of the entire population, is typically not observable, and hence the statistical error cannot be observed either.
This presentation contains information about Mann Whitney U test, what is it, when to use it and how to use it. I have also put an example so that it may help you to easily understand it.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
1. T Distribution,
Paired and Unpaired T test
Prepared by:
Bikram Adhikari (136)
Mean Comparison
between 2 groups
2. A bit of History
• W.A. Gassit (1905) first published a t-test.
• He worked at the Guiness Brewery in Dublin and
published under the name Student.
• The test was called Student Test later shortened
to t test
3. T Distribution
• Aka Student’s T distribution
• A probability distribution that is used to estimate
population parameters when the sample size is
small and/or when the population variance is
unknown.
4. T Distribution
• If X is normally distributed and a sample of size n is
randomly chosen from this underlying population,
the probability distribution of the random variable
is known as Student's t distribution with n- 1
degrees of freedom.
5. Properties of t Distribution
• The mean of distribution is ZERO.
• It is symmetrical about the mean.
• In general, it has a variance greater than 1, but the
variance approaches 1 as the sample size becomes
large.
• The variable t ranges from -∞ to +∞

7. Difference between t and normal
distribution
• Compared to the normal distribution, the t
distribution is less peaked in the center and
has thicker tails.
8. When to Use the t Distribution?
• The t distribution can be used with any statistic
having a bell-shaped distribution
• Quantative data, random samples
• The population distribution is normal.
• The population distribution is symmetric, unimodal,
without outiers, and the sample size is at most 30.
• The population distribution is moderately skewed,
unimodal, without outliers, and the sample size is at
most 40.
9. Application of t test
• T test can be applied if:
• Samples are randomly selected from population
• There is homogeneity of variance in sample
• It is applied to find the significance of difference
between two means as:
• Unpaired t-test
• Paired t-test.
12. Standard Error of Mean
• Difference between sample estimates of statistics
and population parameter is measured by standard
error
• Standard error is a measure of chance variation and
it does not mean error or mistake
• Calculation of standard error of mean:
13. Standard Error of difference
between Means
• Frequency distribution of difference give a normal
curve.
• The standard deviation of a distribution of
differences is known as standard error of
difference between two means.
• Calculation of standard error of difference between
two means:
14. Degree of Freedom (df)
• Degrees of freedom depends on two factors:
• No. of groups we wish to compare
• No. of parameters we need to estimate to calculate the
standard deviation of the contrast of interest.
• For paired t test: df=n-1
• For one sample t test: df=n-1
• For two sample t test: df=2n-2
15. Paired t test
• Two groups of paired observations, x11, x12, . . . ,
x1n in Group 1 and x21, x22, . . . , x2n in Group 2
such that x1i is paired with x2i and the difference
between them, di = x1i - x2i.
• Assumptions
• The di’s are plausibly Normally distributed. It is not
essential for the original observations to be Normally distributed
• The di’s are independent of each other.
16. Paired t test
• Steps
• Hypothesis generation:
• Null Hypothesis: mean difference is zero
• Alternative Hypothesis: mean difference in the population is not zero.
• Calculate the differences di = x1i - x2i, i = 1 to n.
• Calculate the mean difference (d) and standard deviation,
(Sd) of the differences di.
• Calculate the standard error of the mean difference
• Calculate the test statistic
17. Paired t test
• Steps
• Find the degrees of freedom.
• df=n-1
• Refer 't' table and find the probability of the
calculated ‘t’ corresponding to n – 1 degrees of
freedom.
• Result
18. Paired t test
Problem
• Systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 9 normal
individuals, who had been recumbent for 5 minutes
was taken. Then 2 ml of 0.5% solution of
hypotensive drug was given and blood pressure
recorded again. Did the injection of drug lower the
blood pressure?
19. Paired t test
• Hypothesis:
• Ho: no mean difference
• Ha: mean difference
• Calculate differences
• Calculation of mean
difference:
• Calculate Sd of mean

24. Independent sample t test
• The independent samples t-test is used to test for a
difference in the mean value of a continuous
variable between two groups.
• Assumptions
• The groups are independent.
• The variables of interest are continuous
• The data in both groups have similar standard deviations
• Homogeneity of variance
• The data is Normally distributed in both groups.
25. Homogeneity of variance test
• Levene’s test
• This tests whether the variances of two samples are
approximately equal or not.
• We want levene’s test to be not significant
• Ho: Variance are equal
• Ha: Variances are not equal
• Note: As long as N>30, n1 nearly=to n2, there is
robust to violations of homogeneity of variance
26. Independent sample t test
• Steps
• Generate hypothesis
• Ho: no difference in two means
• Ha: there is difference in two means
• Calculate mean difference between groups
• Calculate pooled standard deviations
• Calculate the standard error of the difference
between two means
27. Independent sample t test

df=n1+n2-2
• Refer 't' table and find the probability of the
calculated ‘t’ corresponding to 2n – 2 degrees of
freedom.

29. Independent sample t test
• Degree of freedom =9+13-2 =20
• T20=2.086 (from table)
• Calculated t statistic=2.63
30. What if the variances in two
groups are not Equal?
• Use of modification of Independent sample t test.
• Instead of using sp 2 as an estimate of the common
variance σ 2, we substitute s1 2 for ai σ 2
and s2 2 for σ2 2. Therefore, the appropriate test
statistic is

data are a sample from a population with a specific
'hypothesized' mean.
• Test statistic(t):

Almost identical to Normal Distribution Curve, but a bit shorter and fatter.
The distributions with smaller degrees of freedom are more spread out; as df increases, the t distribution approaches the standard normal. This occurs because as thesample size increases, s becomes a more reliable estimate of a; if n is very large, knowing the value of sis nearly equivalent to knowing a.
To test the homogeneity of variances. Fisher’s F-test also called variance ratio test is applied.
Normality testing is done before selecting parametric and non parametric tests
The difference occurs between sample and population parameter because of chance or biological variability. This difference is measured by SE.
(The degrees of freedom are n - 1 rather than n because we lose 1 df by estimating the sample mean.
n- 1 is the quantity by which we divided the sum of the squared deviations around the mean,I;=I (x;- x)l, in order to obtain the sample variance .concept of degrees of freedom is one of the more elusive statistical ideas.
It is useful to paired data of dependent observation from one sample only when each individual given a pair of observations.
Pros and con’s of Independent groups:
Pros: mathematically simpler
Cons: Group may differ in other ways
Matching/Random assign to groups/Use of multivariate analysis
Under the null hypothesis, we can approximate the distribution of t by a t distribution with v degrees of freedom.As usual, we compare the value of the statistic to the critical values in Table A.4-oruse a computer program-to decide whether or not we should reject H0 .
