The Statistic (t)

[Back to Statistics Contents]
This statistic is a measure on a random sample (or pair of samples) in which a mean (or pair of means) appears in the numerator and an estimate of the numerator's standard deviation appears in the denominator. The later estimate is based on the calculated s square or s squares of the samples.

If these calculations yield a value of (t) that is sufficiently different from zero, the test is considered to be statistically significant.
