3. A special case of the two-sample t-tests occurs when the observations on the two populations of interest are collected in pairs. They are not independent observations. Each pair of observations, say (X 1j, X 2j ), is taken under homogeneous conditions. Each observation in one sample is paired naturally or by design with an observation in the other sample. The test procedure consists of analyzing the differences between each the pairs. 10-4 Paired t -Test
