    • What assumption does the independent t-test require?
      The variances of the two groups are equal
    • What does a p-value of 0.02 in a t-test suggest?
      The null hypothesis is rejected at the 0.05 level
    • Which of the following measures the effect size in a t-test?
      Tukey's HSD
    • When is the paired t-test used?
      To compare means of a single group at two time points

      The threshold for rejecting the null hypothesis
    • Test statistic in a t-test
      The computed t-value used to assess significance

      To compare the same group at two times point
    • What does a two-tailed t-test assess?
      Whether the means of two groups are significantly different in either direction
    • What does a significant p-value in a t-test indicate?
      The null hypothesis is rejected
    • What is the formula of for degrees of freedom in an independent samples t-test?

      Rejecting the true null hypothesis
    • It increases the power of a t-test
      Increasing the sample size
    • Purpose of a one-sample t-test
      To test whether the mean of a single group differs from a specified value.
