    1) The document describes how to perform a t-test when comparing two sample means with small sample sizes (<30). 2) It provides the formula for calculating the t-statistic and compares it to the critical t-value to determine whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. 3) The example tests whether the mean of a sample is greater than a hypothesized population mean, calculates the t-statistic, and rejects the null hypothesis because the t-statistic is greater than the critical value.

     When the population standard deviation is not given

    and the sample size is <30 (small sample) we use t-test.


     The t-statistic is given by:

    𝑋−𝜇 𝑋−𝜇
    𝑡= =
    𝑆𝐸 𝑠/ 𝑛
     Compare the t statistic , with t critical value at (n-1)
    degrees of freedom.
     Accept HO, if the t statistic < t critical
    Given a sample mean of 83, a sample standard deviation
    of 12.5 and a sample size of 22, test the hypothesis that
    the value of the population mean is 70 against the
    alternative that the hypothesis is more than 70. At 10%
    level of significance.
    H0: 𝜇 = 70
    H1: 𝜇 > 70
    s=12.5
    n=22
    𝑥 = 83
    𝑋−𝜇 𝑋−𝜇
    𝑡= = = 4.878
    𝑆𝐸 𝑠/ 𝑛

    T statistic critical at 10% level of significance at 21 df is 1.323


    Hence, Reject HO, t statistic>t critical.

     Two difference types of drugs A and B were tried on certain patients for
    increasing weight. 5 persons were given drug A and 7 persons were
    given drug B. The increase in weight is pounds is given below:
    Drug A 8 12 13 9 3
    Drug B 10 8 12 15 6 8 11

     Do the two drugs differ significantly with regard to their effect in


    increasing weight (the table value of t for df = 10 and 5% alpha is 2.23)
     𝑋1 = 9, 𝑋2 = 10

     Step 1:
     H0: µ1 = µ2
     H1: µ1 ≠ µ2

     α = 0.05
     Degrees of freedom = 10-1 = 9
     Two tailed test
     Critical Limit = [-2.23, 2.23]
     Decision: H0 is not rejected

     Interpretation: Two drugs do not differ with regard to


    their effect in increasing weight.
     The mean life of a sample of 10 electric light bulbs was
    found to be 1,456 hours with standard deviation of 423
    hours. A second sample of 17 bulbs chosen from a
    different batch showed a mean life of 1,280 hours with
    standard deviation of 398 hours. Is there a significant
    difference between the means of the two batches?
    Example:
    Kaveri Spa has advertised a weight reducing program
    and has claimed that the average weight loss is more
    than 17 pounds. A somewhat overweight executive is
    interested in the program but is sceptical about the
    claims and asks for some evidence. The spa gives him
    the following data. At 5 % level of significance check if
    the claim made by the spa is correct or not.

    t statistic > t critical , hence we cannot accept the null
    hypothesis.

    The weight loss after undergoing the program is more


    than 17 pounds.
