Summary of t-Test for Testing a Single Population Mean (m)

t-Test Statistic Assumptions: Population is normal although this assumption can be relaxed if sample size is “large”. Random sample was drawn from the population of interest.

The t-distribution Student(df ) density curves for various df. = ¥ [ i . e , N o r m a l ( 1 ) ] 5 2 4 - 1. The t-distribution has one parameter that controls it’s shape called the degrees of freedom.

The t-distribution d f = ¥ [ i . e , N o r m a l ( 1 ) ] 5 2 4 - 2. The Student’s t-distribution is bell shaped and centred at 0 — like the Standard Normal distribution but more variable (larger spread).

The t-distribution d f = ¥ [ i . e , N o r m a l ( 1 ) ] 5 2 4 - 3. As df increases, the t-distribution becomes more and more like the standard normal.

The t-distribution d f = ¥ [ i . e , N o r m a l ( 1 ) ] 5 2 4 - 4. t-dist (df = ¥) and Normal (0, 1) are two ways of describing the same distribution.

estimate ± (t-quantile value) SE(estimate) The t-distribution From now on we will treat as having a t-distribution (df = n - 1). For confidence intervals we will build t-standard-error intervals, estimate ± (t-quantile value) SE(estimate)

The t-distribution Example: P(-1.96 £ Z £ 1.96) = 0.95 (standard normal) P(-2.365 £ t £ 2.365) = 0.95 for t-dist. w/ df = 7 Hence, if we are taking samples of size n = 8 and we want to build intervals that include m for 95% of all samples taken in the long run, then we use

Form of Hypotheses Ho: m = mo HA: m < mo (lower-tail test) HA: m > mo (upper-tail test) t is negative t P-value t P-value t is positive P-values are computed by finding areas beneath a t-distribution (df = n – 1)

Form of Hypotheses Ho: m = mo HA: m mo (two-tailed test) t -t P-value = Shaded Area t is either pos. or neg. This test is equivalent to constructing a 100(1-a)% CI for m and checking in mo is contained in the resulting interval. Reject Ho if the CI does not cover mo.

t-Probability Calculator in JMP Enter test statistic value ( t ) and df in these cells and the tail probabilities will update automatically.

t-Quantile Calculator for CI’s The t-table value or standard error multiplier for the desired confidence level appears here. Enter desired confidence level which is typically 90, 95, or 99.
