Uses of the One-Sample T-Test

• Test the hypothesis that there is no difference between the


sample mean (M) and a given population mean (m).
• Establish an estimate (i.e., a confidence interval) for the
population mean.

In this example, we will test the following null hypothesis:
Ho: There is no difference between the sample mean for
the variable Classroom Community and m = 30.

Select and move the Classroom Community variable to the


Test Variable(s) box.

Enter 30 as the Test Value and
click OK.

Using a two-tailed level of significance of a = .05,
we reject the null hypothesis (i.e., .017 <= .05)
and conclude there is a difference between
the sample mean and a population mean of 30.

We are 95% confident that the true population mean
is within the interval 27.89 and 29.79 (i.e., 30-2.11
and 30-.21); that is, CI95 = (27.89, 29.79) for the
95% confidence interval.
