Independent T-Test

  • t-test looks at the mean and variance of a sample of measurements, where the null hypothesis is that the sample is drawn from a distribution with mean m.
  • The test explains  the difference between the observed and expected means, scaled by the variance of the data, and tells us how likely one is to get a sample of that mean and variance, assuming that the sample is drawn from a normal distribution with mean mu..
