Example:
A statistics teacher wants to compare his two classes to see if they performs any differently on the tests
he gave that semester. Class A has 25 students with an average score of 70, standard deviation 15. Class B
has 20 students with an average score of 74, standard deviation 25. Using alpha 0.05, did these two classes
perform differently on the tests?
We use the Independent Samples t-Test to test if two sample means are different from one another.
After the t-Test, confidence intervals can then be constructed to estimate how large that mean difference is.
The effect size allows us to measure the magnitude of mean differences.
Example:
Researches want to test a new anti-hunger weight loss pill. They have 10 people rate their hunger before and
after taking the pill. Does the pill do anything? Use alpha = 0.05.
