The Difference between Two Means

This section covers how to test for differences between means from two separate groups of subjects and gives an example of opinions on animal research. The detailed testing procedure is carried out using the standard steps in hypothesis testing.

Question 4 out of 9.

In the formula for t, the "statistic" is

  • the null hypothesis.
  • the mean of all numbers.
  • the difference between sample means.
  • the significance level.


Question 5 out of 9.

In the formula for t, the "hypothesized value" is

  • what you expect the t to be.
  • the difference between population means.
